To save the running-config file to the startup-config file on the GSS, or to copy
the current startup configuration to a file for use on other devices or for backup
purposes, use one of the following commands:
copy startup-config disk filename—Copies the GSS device startup
•
configuration to a named file on the GSS.
copy running-config disk filename—Copies the GSS device current running
•
configuration to a named file on the GSS.
copy running-config startup-config—Copies the GSS device current
•
running configuration as the new startup configuration.
To copy the GSS device running-config or startup-config files, perform the
following steps:
1.
Log in to the CLI of the primary GSSM, standby GSSM, or a GSS device and
enable privileged EXEC mode.
gss1.example.com> enable
gss1.example.com#
Copy the current startup configuration to a file for use on other devices or for

backup purposes by entering the following command:
gss1.example.com# copy startup-config disk newstartupconfig
The filename argument specifies the name of the file containing the startup
configuration settings.
The primary GSSM backup does not include user files that reside in the
Note
/home directory. If you want to have a secure copy of the GSS
startup-config file, use either the secure copy (scp) or ftp commands to
copy the startup-config file to another device. Storing the startup-config
file in a safe location can save time and reconfiguration issues in a
recovery situation.
Copy the GSS device current running configuration to a named file located

on the GSS by entering the following command:
gss1.example.com# copy running-config newrunningconfig
