Displaying the configuration files

To display configuration files:

Use the show config files command to display the existing configuration files. This command also indicates whether a custom default configuration file exists.
Use either the command show default config or the command show running-config to display the custom default configuration.

If a custom default configuration file exists and you erase the current active config file (using the erase startup-config command), use the show running-configcommand to display the custom default configuration, which is loaded upon bootup.

NOTE: When the show default config command is executed in enhanced secure mode the following prompt displays:

Do you want to show sensitive information (y/n)?

If "Y/y" is entered, the normal command output is displayed on the console. If "N/n" is entered, all the sensitive information is hidden and will be displayed as asterisks ("*****"). The default option is "N/n" when interactive mode is disabled. For more information, see the "Secure Mode" in the Access Security Guide for your switch.
