Configuring File
Management
The configuration file includes commands based on command views. The
commands are sorted in one section and sections are separated with a blank line
or a comment line (A comment line begins with a pound sign “# ”). Default
constants are not saved.
Generally, the sections in the file are arranged in the following order: system
configuration, ethernet port configuration, vlan interface configuration, routing
protocol configuration, and so on.
Management of the configuration files includes tasks described in the following
sections:
■ Displaying the Current and Saved Configuration of the Switch
■ Saving the Current Configuration
■ Erasing the Configuration Files from Flash Memory
Displaying the Current and Saved Configuration of the Switch
After being powered on, the system reads the configuration file from flash
memory. The default configuration file is
sw8800.cfg. If there is no configuration
file in flash, the system begins the initialization with the default parameters. You
can use the commands in
Table 5 to display the current and saved configuration of
the switch.
