Scenario 2: Running Configuration Saved to the Working Directory
The network administrator recreates Switch X’s RUNNING CONFIGURATION and immediately saves
the running configuration to the working directory.
The power to the switch is interrupted. The switch reboots and rolls back to the certified directory.
However, since the configuration file was saved to the working directory, that configuration can be
retrieved.
This is illustrated in the diagram below:

4. Switch can be
rebooted from the
working directory
restoring the configuration.
Scenario 3: Saving the Working to the Certified Directory
After running the modified configuration settings and checking that there are no problems, the network
administrator decides that the modified configuration settings stored in the working directory are
completely reliable. The administrator then decides to save the contents of the working directory to the
certified directory. Once the working directory is saved to the certified directory, the modified configuration
is included in a normal reboot.
