# Reloading a CLI-Based Packet-Mirroring Configuration

You can reload your packet mirroring configuration as part of a configuration file (.cnf) reload operation or when you run a script file (.scr) that you have saved from the show configuration command display. When you reload a .cnf file, the packet-mirroring configuration is restored—no additional steps are required.

For a .scr file operation, the mirror-enable command must be enabled both before saving the scr. file from the show configuration display and also before you run the script to reload the packet-mirroring configuration. If the mirror-enable command is not enabled, the .scr file operation for the packet-mirroring configuration fails.
