BOOT CONFIG-FILE
Syntax
boot config-file
filename
.cfg
Parameter
filename
.cfg
Specifies the name of a configuration file as the boot configuration
file (startup-config file) on the switch. The filename is case-
sensitive and can be from 1 to 28 alphanumeric characters. The
extension must be “.cfg.”
Mode
Global Configuration mode
Description
Use this command to designate the boot configuration file (startup-config
file) on the switch. The switch uses the boot configuration file designated
by this command when the switch is power-cycled or reset. By default, the
boot.cfg file is the boot configuration file. To configure the switch with the
new boot configuration file, reset the switch with the REBOOT or RELOAD
command after entering this command.
When you issue the WRITE or COPY RUNNING-CONFIG STARTUP-
CONFIG command, the switch saves the current configuration settings
onto the boot configuration file designated by the BOOT CONFIG-FILE
command. In addition, when you issue the ERASE STARTUP-CONFIG
command, the switch deletes the boot configuration file designated by the
BOOT CONFIG-FILE command. See “ERASE STARTUP-CONFIG” on
page 151.
To create a new boot configuration file, enter a new filename in the
command. The command automatically creates the new file, updates it
with the current settings of the switch, and designates it as the boot
configuration file.
