you're welcome

Thanks for the video. What software and cable do I need to do this? I am assuming a console cable and a software similar to Putty, right?

[@ITNEWS1]

for this video I used the "packet tracert" simulation software. Otherwise for real access to a Cisco Switch you need a console cable and PUTTY, TERA TERM software. as terminal

How do we change the default name (startup-config)?

[@ITNEWS1]

To change the default name of the startup-config file on a Cisco device, you can use the "config-register" command to modify the configuration register value. The configuration register is a 16-bit software register in the router's hardware that determines how the router boots up and initializes.
Follow these steps to change the default name of the startup-config file:
Enter global configuration mode by typing "configure terminal" command.
Enter the following command: "config-register 0x2102" (This sets the configuration register to the default value).
Type "exit" command to exit from global configuration mode.
Type "copy startup-config tftp" command to copy the current startup-config file to a TFTP server.
Enter the new name for the startup-config file when prompted.
Type "config-register 0x2142" command to change the configuration register value.
Reload the device by typing "reload" command.
After the device reloads, enter global configuration mode again and type "rename flash:old_filename flash:new_filename" command to rename the old startup-config file to the new name.
Type "config-register 0x2102" command to change the configuration register value back to the default value.
I hope this helps!
