Specifying a startup configuration file to be used at the next system startup.
Startup with the configuration file
The device takes the following steps when it starts up:
1. If the main startup configuration file you specified exists, the device starts up with this configuration
file.
2. If the main startup configuration file you specified does not exist but the backup startup configuration
file exists, the device starts up with the backup startup configuration file.
3. If neither the main nor the backup startup configuration file exists, the device starts up with null
configuration.
Saving the running configuration
To make configuration changes take effect at the next startup of the device, save the running configuration to
the startup configuration file to be used at the next startup before the device reboots.

Enter, the master and a subordinate automatically save the current configuration to the specified
configuration file, and use the file as the configuration file to be used at the next startup, keeping the
consistency of the configuration files on the master and the subordinate.
