Backing Up the Switch Configuration
As a best practice, one should make regular backups of the CEServices configuration. This allows you to keep progress of your work configuring
the switch. The saved configuration file may be applied to other switches as needed. Since the configuration is plain text with human readable
commands, it may be saved as a .TXT file, edited as needed, and checked into a version control system such as Subversion (SVN) or Git. A
saved configuration may be restored using methods like the ones listed below.

Under ICLI, you may use the command
show running-config
to view the configuration. Press “g” when prompted to display the entire
configuration without pausing. Once the entire configuration is printed, it may be copied and pasted into a text file with Notepad or similar and
then saved. This may be done via either USB Serial Console, SSH, or Telnet.
Figure 40: Configuration backup using Terminal Emulator
PuTTY and other terminal emulators include a session logging feature which automatically saves the session contents to a text file. This allows
for automatic backups of a configuration. Every time
show running-config
is run, it is automatically captured to the log, where it may be
extracted later.
