In which file is the cisco 2600 series router’s configuration file startup-config saved?
flash:/ puts cisco’s IOS system files
nvram:/ puts the configuration file that is automatically loaded at boot time, i.e., startup-config
system:/, also known as the switch/router’s memory ram, puts the current running configuration file, i.e. running-config
The command copyrunning-configstartup-config, or copyrunstart for short, saves the current configuration in NVRAM so that the latest configuration can be applied the next time the switch is rebooted, similar to the ctrl+s save operation in word.
Using dirflash:/ in privileged mode allows you to view information about IOS files, and similarly you can view information on other storage media.
