Managing Files

Use the

File Management

page to manage device software, the image file, and the configuration

files. Files can be downloaded or uploaded via a TFTP server.

Management File Overview

The management file structure consists of the following files:

•

Startup configuration file

— Retains the exact device configuration when the device is

powered down or rebooted. The startup file maintains configuration commands, and

configuration commands from the running configuration file can be saved to the startup file.

•

Running configuration file

—Contains all startup file commands, as well as all commands

entered during the current session. After the device is powered down or rebooted, all

commands stored in the running configuration file are lost. During the startup process all

commands in the startup file are copied to the running configuration file and applied to the

device. During the session, all new commands entered are added to the commands existing in

the running configuration file. Commands are not overwritten. To update the startup file,

before powering down the device the running configuration file must be copied to the startup

configuration file. The next time the device is restarted, the commands are copied back into

the running configuration file from the startup configuration file

•

Backup Configuration File

— Contains a backup copy of the device configuration. The

backup file changes when the running configuration file or the startup file is copied to the

backup file. The commands copied into the file replace the existing commands saved in the

backup file. The backup file contents can be copied to either the running configuration or the

startup configuration files.

•

Image Files

—System images are saved in two Flash sectors called images (Image 1 and Image

2). The active image

stores the active copy; while the other image stores a second copy. The

device boots and runs from the active

image. If the active image is corrupt, the system

automatically boots from the non-active image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring

during the boot upgrade process.
