TP-Link TL-SL3452 - Manual (Page 93)


Section 13. Managing System Files
File maintenance on the device includes configuration file management and device access. The configuration file structure
consists of the following configuration files:
Startup configuration file — Contains the commands required to reconfigure the device to the same settings as when
the device is powered down or rebooted. The Startup file is created by copying the configuration commands from the
Running Configuration file or the Backup Configuration file.
Running configuration file — Contains all configuration file commands, as well as all commands entered during
the current session. After the device is powered down or rebooted, all commands stored in the Running Configuration
file are lost. During the startup process, all commands in the Startup file are copied to the Running Configuration File
and applied to the device. During the session, all new commands entered are added to the commands existing in the
Running Configuration file. Commands are not overwritten. To update the Startup file, before powering down the device,
the Running Configuration file must be copied to the Startup Configuration file. The next time the device is restarted, the
commands are copied back into the Running Configuration file from the Startup Configuration file.
Image files — Software upgrades are used when a new version file is downloaded. The file is checked for the right
format, and that it is complete. After a successful download, the new version is marked, and is used after the device is
reset.
