2.1.3 startup-config and running-config
The XG700 configuration information is saved to startup-config and running-config files.
This section describes the functions of the startup-config and running-config files.
startup-config
Startup-config is the configuration file that stores the environment settings that are enabled upon XG700 startup. The
startup-config is saved in non-volatile memory and read the next time the XG700 begins to be used for the initial
settings on the operating environment.
running-config
Running-config is a file stored in volatile memory that represents the operating environment of the system on which the
XG700 is currently running. The information stored in the running-config will be lost when the system is restarted.
To reflect the system configuration that is active in the current running-config the next time the system is started, use
the "copy" command to save them to the startup-config file.
xg# copy running-config startup-config
The contents of the startup-config and running-config match immediately after the XG700 is started.
How to upload startup-config and running-config
To download the configuration information that was uploaded to the TFTP server as startup-config, run the "copy"
command.
xg# show running-config | tftp HOST REMOTE-FILE
or
xg# show startup-config | tftp HOST REMOTE-FILE
How to download startup-config
To download the configuration information that was uploaded to the TFTP server as startup-config, run the "copy"
command.
xg# copy tftp HOST REMOTE-FILE startup-config
To enable the settings downloaded to startup-config, restart the XG700 using the "reset" command.
Be sure to upload the contents of the startup-config file to a TFTP server because the contents will be
overwritten.
