How to Display Running and Startup Configuration

Running and Startup Configuration

The current version of the configuration file the device runs on is Running-Configuration. The file contains all recent changes you’ve made to the configuration since the last device reboot, while no changes applied to the startup configuration. The Startup-Configuration is when the configuration of devices runs on as the power-up or reboot.

Startup or pre-configuration will be copied from NVRAM into RAM once the IOS is loaded and up and running. This file copy will be placed into RAM; this process is called Running-Configuration.
