I am using this config management software and I noticed under the current configurations section, there is Runtime Config and Running-config, what is the difference between the two?

I will appreciate any help you could provide :o)
 
There are two configurations: startup and running. The startup config is the one saved to NVRAM, and which will be loaded at the next reboot. The running config is the one in RAM that is currently executing.

When you enter a command, it goes into effect immediately in the running config. It doesn't get into the startup config until you execute "write memory".

That said, I don't know what terminology your management software is using.
