Save the Running-Configuration
The running-configuration contains the current system configuration. Dell Force10 recommends copying
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 IOM by
default, but you can save the startup-configuration to a USB flash device or on a remote server.
To save the running-configuration:
Task Command Syntax Command Mode
Save re-configured settings to the
startup configuration.
write memory
CONFIGURATION
Note: The following commands are the same format as those in Copy Files to and from the System on
page 31 but use the filenames startup-config and running-config. These commands assume that current
directory is the internal flash, which is the system default.
