Selecting a Configuration Block
When you make configuration changes to the GbE Switch Module , you must save the changes so
that they are retained beyond the next time the switch is reset. When you perform the save
command, your new configuration changes are placed in the active configuration block. The
previous configuration is copied into the backup configuration block.
There is also a factory configuration block. This holds the default configuration set by the factory
when your
GbE Switch Module was manufactured. Under certain circumstances, it may be desir-
able to reset the switch configuration to the default. This can be useful when a custom-configured
GbE Switch Module is moved to a network environment where it will be re configured for a differ-
ent purpose.
Use the following procedure to set which configuration block you want the switch to load the
next time it is reset:
1. At the Boot Options# prompt, enter:
