What is the difference between 'nvram' and 'manual' in below output .

Interface                  IP-Address          Method      Status                Protocol
GigabitEthernet0/1    X.X.X.X                NVRAM        up                    up
Serial0/0/0                X.X.X.X                manual       down                  down

NVRAM means the configuration was loaded into the system by the startup config file. Manual means that the IP address was input into the system since the last reboot.
