Administrator Guide

• 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, see the

Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS) section in the Dell Command Line Reference Guide for your system.

Viewing Files

You can only view file information and content on local file systems.

To view a list of files or the contents of a file, use the following commands.

• View a list of files on the internal flash.

EXEC Privilege mode

dir flash:

• View the running-configuration.

EXEC Privilege mode

show running-config

• View the startup-configuration.

EXEC Privilege mode

show startup-config

The output of the dir command also shows the read/write privileges, size (in bytes), and date of modification for each file.

View Configuration Files

Configuration files have three commented lines at the beginning of the file, as shown in the following example, to help you track the last

time any user made a change to the file, which user made the changes, and when the file was last saved to the startup-configuration.

In the running-configuration file, if there is a difference between the timestamp on the “Last configuration change” and “Startup-config

last updated,” you have made changes that have not been saved and are preserved after a system reboot.
