Save the Running-Configuration

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

the startup-configuration.

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 internal flash of the primary RPM.

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.
