Saving Configuration Changes
Enter the copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config command to save your
configuration changes to NVRAM so that they will not be lost if there is a system reload or
power outage:
Switch# copy system:running-config nvram:startup-config
Building configuration...
Depending on the size and complexity of the configuration file, it might take a minute or
two to save the configuration to NVRAM. After the configuration has been saved, the
following displays:
[OK]
Switch#
The ATM switch router contains two types of configuration files: the running configuration
and the startup configuration. The running configuration is the current (unsaved)
configuration that reflects the m ost recent configuration changes. The startup configuration
is the saved configuration in NVRAM and is used when the system initializes. The two
configuration files provide a safeguard against configuration mistakes. If you make a
mistake while configuring the ATM switch router, you can revert back to the saved startup
configuration by entering the copy nvram:startup-config system:running-config
command. Or you can reboot the ATM switch router (without saving the configuration
changes) to use the startup configuration in NVRAM.
