Chapter 41 Command Examples

This command restores a configuration file on the switch. The following example uploads the
configuration file (

test.cfg

) from the TFTP server (

172.23.19.96

) to the switch.

41.6.3 Using a Different Configuration File

You can store up to two configuration files on the switch. Only one configuration file is used at
a time. By default the switch uses the first configuration file (with an index number of 1). You
can set the switch to use a different configuration file. There are two ways in which you can set
the switch to use a different configuration file: restart the switch (cold reboot) and restart the
system (warm reboot).

Use the

boot config

command to restart the switch and use a different configuration file (if

specified). The following example restarts the switch to use the second configuration file.

Figure 169 CLI: boot config Command Example

Use the

reload config

command to restart the system and use a different configuration file

(if specified). The following example restarts the system to use the second configuration file.

Figure 170 CLI: reload config Command Example

Note: When you use the

write memory

command without specifying a configuration

file index number, the switch saves the changes to the configuration file the
switch is currently using.

41.6.4 Resetting to the Factory Default

Follow the steps below to reset the switch back to the factory defaults.

1 Enter

erase running config

to reset the current running configuration.

2 Enter

write memory

to save the changes to the current configuration file. If you want to

reset the second configuration file, use the

write memory

command again with the

specified index number.
