CREATE CONFIG
Syntax
create config=[flash:|cflash:] filename .cfg
Parameter
config Specifies the name of a new configuration file. If the
filename contains spaces, it must be enclosed in double
quotes. Otherwise, the quotes are optional.
Description
This command creates a new configuration file containing the commands
required to recreate the current configuration of the switch.
The CONFIG parameter specifies the name of the configuration file to
create. The file extension must be “.cfg”. If the file already exists, it is
replaced. If the file does not exist it is created.
The filename can be from 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters, not including
the “.cfg” extension. Spaces are allowed. Be sure to enclose the name in
double quotes if you include a space in the name. Wildcards are not
allowed.
You can also specify the location of the file, either in flash memory (flash:)
or on a compact flash card (cflash:). The default is flash memory.
This command does not change the assignment of the active boot
configuration file, which is the file the switch uses to configure itself the
next time it is reset or power cycled. To assign the new configuration file
as the active boot configuration file, refer to “SET CONFIG” on page 173.
Example
The following command creates the new configuration file Switch12.cfg.
The file will contain all of the commands necessary to recreate the switch’s
current configuration:
create config=Switch12.cfg
The following command creates a configuration file named “l2switches” on
the compact flash card:
create config=cflash:l2switches.cfg
