Configuration Files
Configuration files contain the CLI commands that change the switch from
its default configuration. The switch can maintain three separate
configuration files: startup-config, running-config, and backup-config. The
switch loads the startup-config file when the switch boots. Any configuration
changes that take place after the boot process completes are written to the
running-config file. The backup-config file does not exist until you explicitly
create one by copying an existing configuration file to the backup-config file
or downloading a backup-config file to the switch.
