Save the Running-Configuration

The running-configuration contains the current system configuration. Dell Networking recommends coping your running-

configuration to the startup-configuration.

The system uses the startup-configuration during boot-up to configure the system. The startup-configuration is stored in the

internal flash on the system by default, but it can be saved on a USB flash device or a remote server.

The commands in this section follow the same format as those commands in the Copy Files to and from the System section but

use the filenames startup-configuration and running-configuration. These commands assume that current directory is the

internal flash, which is the system default.

● Save the running-configuration to the startup-configuration on the system.

EXEC Privilege mode

copy running-config startup-config

● Save the running-configuration to an FTP server.

EXEC Privilege mode

copy running-config ftp:// username:password@{hostip | hostname}/filepath/ filename

● Save the running-configuration to a TFTP server.

EXEC Privilege mode

copy running-config tftp://{hostip | hostname}/ filepath/filename

● Save the running-configuration to an SCP server.

EXEC Privilege mode

copy running-config scp://{hostip | hostname}/ filepath/filename

NOTE: When copying to a server, a host name can only be used if a DNS server is configured.

NOTE: When you load the startup configuration or a configuration file from a network server such as TFTP to the running

configuration, the configuration is added to the running configuration. This does not replace the existing running

configuration. Commands in the configuration file has precedence over commands in the running configuration.

Configure the Overload Bit for a Startup Scenario

For information about setting the router overload bit for a specific period of time after a switch reload is implemented, refer to

the Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) section in the Dell Networking OS Command Line Reference Guide.
