Configuration File Handling
Figure 9-2: Local Memory Regions in SmartWare
As shown in Figure
the local memory regions are identified by their unique names, like
nvram:
which is located in flash memory and
system:
, which is the system RAM, i.e. the volatile memory. As
already mentioned, within the same memory region any configuration file needs a unique name so
for example it is not possible to have two configurations files with the name
running-config
in the
memory region
nvram:
.
As you might expect, the
copy
command does not move but replicates a selected source to a target
configuration file in the specified memory region. Therefore the source configuration file is not lost
after the copy process. There are three predefined configuration files names for which the
specification of the memory region is optional, namely the files
factory-config
,
startup-config
and
running-config
.
Procedure
