CMOS or BIOS configuration settings
Configuration data refers to the settings and parameters that determine how a system or application operates. This data is often stored separately from the actual software code to allow for easier customization and flexibility. Configuration data can include things like user preferences, system settings, and connection details.
The Motherboard configuration is stored in the BIOS setup
1. Hardware and software configuration information 2. Application settings 3. Users preferences
firmware chip
The running configuration on a router or switch is stored in the device's RAM (Random Access Memory) while it is running. It's a temporary configuration that is lost when the device is powered off or restarted. To view the running configuration, you can use the "show running-config" command in the device's CLI (Command Line Interface).
A previously saved configuration refers to specific settings, preferences, or parameters that have been saved or stored in a system or device for future use. This allows users to quickly revert to a known or preferred configuration without having to manually set each option again.
Settings on a LAN are not stored in any one place; for disaster recovery planning any configuration information should be written down. Most settings for devices on a LAN come from the DHCP server, so backing up that server would preserve most of the typical LAN settings.
yes it is stored in CMOS
BIOS configuration data is stored in CMOS memory. That is where all the basic hardware settings are kept. CMOS has traditionally been volatile memory, so a battery is required. Newer BIOSes often use NVRAM.
All the settings from the BIOS are stored in a chip which is located on the motherboard. That chip is called EEPROM (electrically erasable PROM).BIOS configuration setting is store in special memory called CMOS. Which is little powered by a battery. RAM is volatile so when computer turned off, all data lost.This can also happen with CMOS but due to this purpose it is powered by battery. It consumption of power is very low and it can store data for 1 year.CMOS stand for "Complementary Metal Oxides Semiconductor".
