To store the configuration or changes you have made to your startup configuration in flash memory, enter

this privileged EXEC command:

Switch# copy running-config startup-config

Destination filename [startup-config]?

Building configuration...

This command saves the configuration settings that you made. If you fail to do this, your configuration

will be lost the next time you reload the system. To display information stored in the NVRAM section

of flash memory, use the show startup-config or more startup-config privileged EXEC command.

For more information about alternative locations from which to copy the configuration file, see

Appendix B, “Working with the Cisco IOS File System, Configuration Files, and Software Images.”

Modifying the Startup Configuration

These sections describe how to modify the switch startup configuration:

•Default Boot Configuration, page 3-12

•Automatically Downloading a Configuration File, page 3-12

•Booting Manually, page 3-13

•Booting a Specific Software Image, page 3-13

•Controlling Environment Variables, page 3-14

See also Appendix B, “Working with the Cisco IOS File System, Configuration Files, and Software

Images,” for information about switch configuration files.
