New startup configuration files must have a name specified. File names on the switch are
case-sensitive, can be from 1 to 31 characters, must not contain slashes (\ or /), and the leading
letter of the file name must not be a period (.). (Valid characters: A-Z, a-z, 0-9, “.”, “-”, “_”)
There can be more than one user-defined configuration file saved in the switch’s flash memory, but
only one is designated as the “startup” file that is loaded when the switch boots. The copy
running-config startup-config command always sets the new file as the startup file. To select a
previously saved configuration file, use the boot system config:<filename> command.
The maximum number of saved configuration files depends on available flash memory. The
amount of available flash memory can be checked by using the dir command.
To save the current configuration settings, enter the following command:
1. From the Privileged Exec mode prompt, type “copy running-config startup-config” and press
<Enter>.
2. Enter the name of the start-up file. Press <Enter>.
Console#copy running-config startup-config
Startup configuration file name []: startup
\Write to FLASH Programming.

To restore configuration settings from a backup server, enter the following command:
1. From the Privileged Exec mode prompt, type “copy tftp startup-config” and press <Enter>.
2. Enter the address of the TFTP server. Press <Enter>.
3. Enter the name of the startup file stored on the server. Press <Enter>.
4. Enter the name for the startup file on the switch. Press <Enter>.
