220 Configuring System Information
Managing Files
The File Management page contains fields for managing device software, the Image Files, and the
Configuration Files. Files can be downloaded from a TFTP server.
File Management Overview
The configuration file structure consists of the following configuration files:
•
Startup Configuration File
— Contains the commands required to reconfigure the device to the same
settings as when the device is powered down or rebooted. The Startup file is created by copying the
configuration commands from the Running Configuration file or an Image 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.
•
Image files
— System file images are saved in two Flash Files 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 corrupted, the system automatically boots from
the non-active image. This is a safety feature for faults occurring during the Software Upgrade process.
