If the destination is
running-config
, the file will be applied to the switch configuration. This can be done in two ways:
•
Replace mode: The current configuration is fully replaced with the configuration in the uploaded file.
•
Merge mode: The uploaded file is merged into
running-config
.
If the flash file system is full (i.e., contains
default-config
and 32 other files, usually including startup-config), it is not
possible to create new files. Then, an existing file must be overwritten or another file must be deleted.

on the radio button in front of that file name. Then, click on the

button. After the activation process
is completed, the webpage will be updated to display the
