All rights reserved.Cisco Public The Bootup Process  Startup Configuration File The startup configuration file is the saved configuration file that sets the properties of the device each time the device is powered up. This file is stored in non-volatile RAM (NVRAM), meaning that it is saved even when power to the device is turned off. When the startup configuration file is loaded into RAM, the file becomes the initial running configuration.

7 © 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved.Cisco Public The Bootup Process  Running Configuration File  The term running configuration refers to the current configuration running in RAM on the device. This file contains the commands used to determine how the device operates on the network.  The running configuration file is stored in the working memory of the device. Changes to the configuration and various device parameters can be made when the file is in working memory.  copy running-config startup-config
