SET CONFIG
Syntax
set config=[flash:|cflash:] filename .cfg|none
Parameter
config Specifies the name of the configuration file to act as the
active configuration file for the switch. The name can be
from 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters, not including the
extension “.cfg”. If the filename contains spaces, it must
be enclosed in double quotes.
Description
This command sets the active configuration file for a switch. The switch
uses the active configuration file to configure its parameter settings the
next time it is rebooted or power cycled.
To view the name of the currently active configuration file, see “SHOW
CONFIG” on page 176.
You can specify a configuration file that already exists in the switch’s file
system. To view the configuration files already in a switch’s file system,
see “SHOW FILE” on page 177. Configuration files have a “.cfg”
extension.
Selecting a new active boot configuration file does not change the current
configuration of the switch. If you want the switch to reconfigure itself
according to the configuration in the newly assigned active boot
configuration file, reset or power cycle the switch.
You do not need to use the SAVE CONFIGURATION command when you
change the designated active configuration file. The change is
automatically saved to permanent memory.
If you specify NONE, the switch creates the file after you use the SAVE
CONFIGURATION command.
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.
Note
The active boot configuration file is updated whenever you use the
SAVE CONFIGURATION command.
