Phase 2: Configuring the Switch’s Parameter Settings
Now that you have created a configuration file and designated it as the
active boot configuration file on the switch, you can now configure the
switch’s parameter settings by making those changes that you want the
new configuration file to contain. Once you have done that, be sure to
save your changes to the configuration file by returning to the Main Menu
and typing S to select Save Configuration Changes. Failure to save your
changes will mean that the configuration file will not contain the new
parameter settings.
Note
Only the active boot configuration file is changed when you select
the Save Configuration Changes option in the Main Menu. No other
boot configuration files stored on the switch are altered.
Phase 3: Selecting the Active Configuration File for the Switch
You have now created the configuration file, made the necessary changes
to the switch’s parameter settings, and saved the changes. If you want the
switch to use this new configuration file the next time you reset or power
cycle the switch, no further steps are necessary. The new configuration file
is already the active boot file on the device.
If you want the switch to use a different file as the active configuration file,
then perform the procedure in “Setting the Active Boot Configuration File”
on page 179.
If you want to create another new configuration file, repeat this procedure
starting with Phase 1.
Setting the Active
Boot
Configuration
File
This procedure selects the active boot configuration file on the switch. The
switch uses the active configuration file the next time the unit is reset or
power cycled to set its parameter settings. You can select a configuration
file that you created on the switch or that you downloaded onto the switch
from another switch.
The switch comes with one default configuration file, called “default.cfg.”
This is the default active configuration file.
Note
The active boot configuration file is updated whenever you select the
Save Configuration Changes from the Main Menu or the Save
Configuration command from the command line interface.
