Hello,
I have two switches (GS1900-24E and GS-1900-24EP) and I want the start-up config is the same as the running configuration.

I tried to do that via Maintenance > Configuration > Management, Source=Runing, Destination=Start-up.

To check if the start-up file is now identical to the running config, I backuped the start-up configuration. But the configuration file has NOT changed compared to the previous start-up file!

The result is the same on both switches! I cannot change the start-up configuration file.

So here is my question:
- How do I update/change the start-up configuration file?

It would been very nice if the switches would handle/indicate the configuration business equivalent to AP’s of FW’s!

Thanks!

    Hello,
    I found the issue.
    I use some ad- and script-blocker on my browser.

    For testing purposes, I used another browser with no blocker at all and the “Management” copy option worked for me.

    So, the solution is:
    - Don’t use any blocking extensions!

    Hi @Ikarus

    For the switch, you need to manually save the configuration to start-up config.

    Click the save button will start the saving process from running config to start-up config.
