Configuration

[arm11]

Hello,

I am wondering about similarity between the configuration store on Cisco and Alcatel devices. Startup-configuration file on Cisco is similar to config.cfg file on ALU or not? In config.cfg is store only default configuration, so If we save current configuration (on ALU) where will it be stored? In config.cfg? Or there is create another file, and where?

Regards.

On an Alcatel when you save the config with "admin save" it is stored to a file with a name on a filesytem of whatever the primary-config variable in the BOF is set to. For example on a 7750 it defaults to cf3:/config.cfg. You can change this in the BOF to whatever you like and next time you do an admin save it will save the config to a new file in that location and that file will be loaded the next time the router boots.

On a Cisco router running IOS in general the config is saved to the file nvram:startup-config. You can think of this as similar to the primary-config on an Alcatel.
