The following prompt is displayed:
Enter the file name (or None):
5. Enter a file name for the new configuration file.
The file name can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters. Spaces are
allowed. The filename must include the extension “.cfg”. See File
Naming Conventions on page 148.
Note
If the filename already exists, the system displays a message asking
if you want to overwrite the existing file.
Note
You cannot name a configuration file “default.cfg.” This file name is
reserved by the switch.
The management software create the new configuration file and
stores it in the file system. The file contains the current switch
configuration.
6. Type 1 to select Boot Configuration File.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter the file name:
7. Enter the same file name that you entered in Step 5.
This makes your new configuration file the active file on the
switch. Any changes you now make to the switch’s parameter
settings are saved to this file.
The file name will now appear following selection 1 in the File
Operations menu. The file name should be followed by “Exist”,
meaning that the file exists in the switch’s file system. If “Not
Found” appears instead, you probably enter the name incorrectly,
in which case you need to repeat Steps 6 and 7.
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.
