In the system flash memory, one file of each type must be set as the
start-up file. During a system boot, the diagnostic and operation code files
set as the start-up file are run, and then the start-up configuration file is
loaded.
Note that configuration files should be downloaded using a file name that
reflects the contents or usage of the file settings. If you download directly
to the running-config, the system will reboot, and the settings will have to
be copied from the running-config to a permanent file.
