How Is the Running Configuration Saved?
Changes you make to the switch configuration while the switch is operating
are written to the running-config. These changes are not automatically
written to the startup-config. When you reload the switch, the startup-config
file is loaded. If you reload the switch (or if the switch resets unexpectedly),
any settings in the running-config that were not explicitly saved to the
startup-config are lost. You must save the running-config to the startup-
config to ensure that the settings you configure on the switch are saved across
a switch reset.
To save the running-config to the startup-config by using the web-based
interface, click (the save icon), which is available at the top of each page.
To save the running-config to the startup-config from the CLI, use the write
command.
N3000 Dual Images
The Dell Networking N3000 Series switches support two image types. Each
image type has a distinct set of features intended to optimize the switch
resources for the intended purpose. For each image type, the user interface
has been optimized to eliminate access to the omitted features.
When changing roles, the configuration for the preceding role will show an
error during switch reboot. The unsupported configuration lines are not
placed into the running-config, and a message showing the unsupported
configuration lines is shown. It is recommended that the startup-config be
removed or modified prior to rebooting when changing roles.
Access Router/Switch Role
Standard naming format: N3000_N2000vA.B.C.D.stk.
This image operates on both Dell Networking N3000/N2000 Series switches
and should be the only image downloaded to the N2000 and selected N3000
Series switches.
Table 14-2 shows the feature set differences for this image (features not
shown are included in the image). This image is the default image present on
switches shipped from the factory.
