There are three different types of configuration files:
Startup - this is the configuration used when the switch is booting up.
Running - this is the configuration when the switch is running.
Backup - this is saved in the Switch. If you make changes to the current configuration, and
there are problems, you can revert to the Backup configuration without having to restore a
new file.
