This is stored in Random Access Memory (RAM). It reflects the current configuration. Modifying a running configuration affects the operation of a Cisco device immediately
Running-config
72
____ is volatile memory. It loses all of its content when the device is powered off or restarted
RAM
73
To savce changes made to the running configuration to the startup configuration file, use the copy ____privileged EXEC mode command
running-config startup-config
74
Reload the device using the ____command in privilege EXEC mode. Note: This will cause the device to briefly go offline, leading to network downtime.
reload
75
If the undesired changes were saved to the startup-config, it may be necessary to clear all the configurations using the ____command in privilege EXEC mode.
erase startup-config
76
Configuration files can also be saved and archived to a text document. What are the steps?
Step 1. Open terminal emulation software, such as PuTTY or Tera Term, that is already connected to a switch.
Step 2. Enable logging in to the terminal software and assign a name and file location to save the log file. The figure displays that All session output will be captured to the file specified (i.e., MySwitchLogs).
Step 3. Execute the show running-config or show startup-config command at the privileged EXEC prompt. Text displayed in the terminal window will be placed into the chosen file.
Step 4. Disable logging in the terminal software. The figure shows how to disable logging by choosing the None session logging option
77
Note: The text file created can be used as a record of how the device is currently implemented. The file could require editing before being used to restore a saved configuration to a device.
