NO BOOT CONFIG-FILE

Syntax

no boot config-file

Parameter

None

Mode

Global Configuration mode

Description

Use this command to configure the switch with the settings in the default
BOOT.CFG file.

Caution

This command causes the switch to reset. It does not forward
network traffic while it initializes the management software. Some
network packets may be lost.

After the switch finishes initializing its management software, it uses the
BOOT.CFG file to configure its parameter settings. To overwrite the
settings in the active boot configuration file with the switch’s current
settings, enter the WRITE or COPY RUNNING-CONFIG STARTUP-
CONFIG command in the Privileged Exec mode.

This command does not return the switch to its default settings if, at some
earlier time, you used the BOOT.CFG file as the activate boot
configuration file on the switch. To restore the default settings to the
switch, refer to “ERASE STARTUP-CONFIG” on page 570.

Example

This example configures the switch with the settings in the default
BOOT.CFG file:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# no boot config-file
