Saving the Running Configuration

After you have created a running configuration in system memory, you can save it to the startup configuration in NVRAM.

To save the configuration file using Device Manager, follow these steps:

  1. Click Admin > Copy Configuration.
  2. Select the location of the file you will copy from (serverFile, startupConfig, runningConfig).
  3. Select the location of the file you will copy to (serverFile, runningConfig, fabricStartupConfig).
  4. Note     You can copy a file fabric-wide using the fabricStartupConfig option, available in Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 2.1(1a) or later.

  5. Enter the server address of the source server.
  6. Click the ... button to browse for the source file on the switch or the server, depending on the type of copy.
  7. Select the protocol you want to use to perform the copy procedure, tftp, ftp, or sftp.
  8. Enter the user name and password you use to access the switch or server.
  9. Click Apply.
