Question about a 2950 switch configuration

[1Drisnil]

Hi! I have some questions concerning specific IOS commands from the IOS Version 12.1(6)EA2a which resides on a Cisco WS-C2950G-48-EI switch.
Although I have a registered account with Cisco Systems, it is as a guest, and well I do not have authorization to look up their glossary.

Is there someone in this forum that understands the lines of the startup-config below in which I have "->" pointed out?

Thanxs in advance for your help on my questions. Starup-config is below.
