Configuring File The management module configuration file provides a user-friendly operation Management interface. It saves the configuration of the switch in a text file, in command line

format, as a record of the whole configuration process. You can view the configuration information.

The configuration file includes:

■Configuration commands — Commands are based on command views. The commands are sorted in one section. The sections are separated with a blank line or a comment line (A comment line begins with a pound sign “# ”).

Default constants are not saved.

■Generally, the sections in the file are arranged in the following order: system configuration, ethernet port configuration, vlan interface configuration, routing protocol configuration, and so on.

Management of the configuration files includes tasks described in the following sections:

■Displaying the Current and Saved Configuration of the Switch

■Saving the Current Configuration

■Erasing the Configuration Files from Flash Memory

Displaying the Current and Saved Configuration of the Switch

After being powered on, the system reads the configuration file from flash memory. The default configuration file is sw7750cfg.txt. If there is no configuration file in flash, the system begins the initialization with the default parameters. You can use the commands in Table 261 to display the current and saved configuration of the switch.
