Copying a Configuration File from a Server to the Running Configuration File — To
load a configuration file from a network server to the running configuration file of
the device, enter the copy

the loaded configuration file are added to those in the running configuration file as

and the loaded configuration files with the loaded configuration file taking
precedence.

a configuration file from a network server to the startup configuration file of the

startup-config. The startup configuration file is
replaced by the copied configuration file.

config
destination-url
command to copy the current configuration file to a network
server using TFTP. Use the copy startup-config
destination-url
command to copy
the startup configuration file to a network server.
Saving the Running Configuration to the Startup Configuration — To copy the
running configuration to the startup configuration file, enter the copy running-
config startup-config command.
