Loading and saving configuration files
Replacing the startup configuration with the
running configuration
After you make configuration changes to the active system, you can save those changes by writing
them to flash memory. When you write configuration changes to flash memory, you replace the
startup configuration with the running configuration.
To replace the startup configuration with the running configuration, enter the following command
at any Enable or CONFIG command prompt.
Brocade#write memory
Replacing the running configuration with the
startup configuration
If you want to back out of the changes you have made to the running configuration and return to
the startup configuration, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI.
Brocade#reload
Logging changes to the startup-config file
You can configure a Brocade device to generate a Syslog message when the startup-config file is
changed. The trap is enabled by default.
The following Syslog message is generated when the startup-config file is changed.
startup-config was changed
If the startup-config file was modified by a valid user, the following Syslog message is generated.
startup-config was changed by <username>
To disable or re-enable Syslog messages when the startup-config file is changed, use the following
command.
Syntax: [no] logging enable config-changed
Copying a configuration file to or from a TFTP server
To copy the startup-config or running-config file to or from a TFTP server, use one of the following
methods.
NOTE
For details about the copy and ncopy commands used with IPv6, refer to “Using the IPv6 copy
command” on page 87and “IPv6 ncopy command” on page 89.
NOTE
You can name the configuration file when you copy it to a TFTP server. However, when you copy a
configuration file from the server to a Brocade device, the file is always copied as “startup-config”
or “running-config”, depending on which type of file you saved to the server.
