Configuration Files
Note. Throughout this manual when a distinction between a SWAN concentrator (T3880) and 
a SWAN 2 concentrator (T3881) is not required, SWAN concentrator is used as a collective 
term.
Note. You should be familiar with the names and contents of the system configuration files and 
the Subsystem Control Facility (SCF) interface to the WAN subsystem before attempting to 
change your system configuration. 
Table 3-1. Types of System Configuration Files (page 1 of 2)
File Type File Name Description
On the $SYSTEM.SYSnn subvolume:
Base CONFIG CONFBASE Contains the minimal configuration to load the 
system. You use this file when you want to 
rebuild the system configuration from the 
absolute minimum configuration. 
On the $SYSTEM.ZSYSCONF subvolume:
Current CONFIG CONFIG Contains the current system configuration.*
Saved CONFIG CONFxxyy Contains a copy of a CONFIG file, saved for 
future use. You can use one of these files to 
return to an earlier, stable configuration. The 
file-naming convention is to let xx indicate a 
major configuration change and yy indicate a 
minor change.
