Step 2. Check or uncheck the Enable check box in the Auto Mirror Configuration field to enable or disable auto mirror configuration and click Apply to save your settings.

Note: A mirror configuration file is a duplicate about the running configuration file made by the switch. This contains the startup configuration only, when the system is rebooted it is set to factory defaults.

The current mirror configuration file present is deleted when the disable feature is selected.

– Startup Configuration — The initial configuration when the system is started or rebooted.

– Mirror Configuration — The duplicate of running configuration file created by the system.

• Creation time — Displays the time and date at which the file was created or last modified.
