This allows easy template creation, +backup, and replication of system configuration. A sytem can thus also be +easily cloned by simply copying the required configuration files. Terminology =========== A VyOS system has three major types of configurations: -Active/Running --------------- +* **Active/Running** configuration is the system configuration that is loaded + and currently active (used by VyOS). Any change in the configuration will + have to be committed to belong to the active/running configuration. + +* **Working** - is the configuration which is currently being modified in + configuration mode. Changes made to the working configuration do not go into + effect until the changes are committed with the :cfgcmd:`commit` command. At + which time the working configuration will become the active or running + configuration. + +* **Saved** - is a configuration saved to a file using the :cfgcmd:`save` + command. It allows you to keep safe a configuration for future uses. There + can be multiple configuration files. The default or "boot" configuration is + saved and loaded from the file ``/config/config.boot``. -The active or running configuration is the system configuration that is loaded -and currently being used by VyOS.
