SmartWare Software Configuration Guide
6 • Configuration file handling
You can copy the current running configuration into the persistent memory region
nvram
: under a user-speci-
fied name, if you want to preserve that configuration.
In addition, an already existing configuration is usually copied into the persistent memory region
nvram:
by
using a user-specified name, for conservation or later activation.
As shown in
figure 11
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 men-
tioned, configuration files in the same memory region need a unique name. For example, it is not possible to
have two configuration 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 configura-
tion file in the specified memory region. Therefore the source configuration file is not lost after the copy pro-
cess. There are three predefined configuration file names for which it is optional to specify the memory region,
namely
factory-config
,
startup-config
and
running-config
.
Mode:
Administrator execution
Example:
Backing up the startup configuration
The following example shows how to make a backup copy of the startup configuration. It is copied under the
name backup into the flash memory region nvram:.
node#copy startup-config nvram:backup
Replacing the startup configuration with a configuration from Flash memory
It is possible to replace the startup configuration by a configuration that is already present in the flash memory.
You can do so by copying it to the area of the flash memory where the startup configuration is stored.
Mode:
Administrator execution
Note
The configuration
backup
can be a previously backed up configuration or
previously downloaded from a TFTP server.

into the local memory.

already present in flash memory.
