Compressing Conguration Files
You can optimize and reduce the sizes of the conguration les.
You can compress the running conguration by grouping all the VLANs and the physical interfaces with the same property. Support to
store the operating conguration to the startup cong in the compressed mode and to perform an image downgrade without any
conguration loss are provided.
You can create groups of VLANs using the interface group command. This command will create nonexistent VLANs specied in a
range. On successful command execution, the CLI switches to the interface group context. The conguration commands inside the group
context will be the similar to that of the existing range command.
Two existing exec mode CLIs are enhanced to display and store the running conguration in the compressed mode.
show running-config compressed and write memory compressed
The compressed conguration will group all the similar looking conguration thereby reducing the size of the conguration. For this release,
the compression will be done only for interface related conguration (VLAN & physical interfaces)
The following table describes how the standard and the compressed conguration dier:
