Configuration Files
This chapter provides information about configuration files in the Enterasys Xpedition
(XP). It explains the different types of configuration files and the different procedures
involved in changing, displaying, saving, and backing up the files.
Configuration Files
The XP Getting Started Guide introduced the following configuration files used by the XP:
• Startup – The configuration file that the XP uses to configure itself when the system is
powered on. The Startup configuration remains even when the system is rebooted.
• Active – The commands from the Startup configuration file and any configuration
commands that you have made active from the scratchpad. The active configuration
remains in effect until you power down or reboot the system.
Caution: The active configuration remains in effect only during the current power
cycle. If you power off or reboot the XP without saving the active configuration
changes to the Startup configuration file, the changes are lost.
• Scratchpad – The configuration commands you have entered during a CLI session.
These commands are temporary and do not become active until you explicitly make
them part of the active configuration.
