Switch Memory and Configuration
Multiple Configuration Files
Displaying the Content of A Specific Startup-Config File
With Multiple Configuration enabled, the switch can have up to three startup
config files. Because the
show config command always displays the content of
the currently active startup-config file, the command extension shown below
is needed to allow viewing the contents of any other startup-config files stored
in the switch.
Syntax: show config < filename >
This command displays the content of the specified startup
config file in the same way that the
show config command
displays the content of the default (currently active) startup
config file.
Changing or Overriding the Reboot Configuration
Policy
Command
Page
startup-default [ primary | secondary ] config < filename >
Below
boot system flash < primary | secondary > config < filename >
You can boot the switch using any available startup-config file.
Changing the Reboot Configuration Policy.
For a given reboot, the
switch automatically reboots from the startup-config file assigned to the flash
location (primary or secondary) being used for the current reboot. For exam
ple, when you first download a software version that supports multiple
configuration files and boot from the flash location of this version, the switch
copies the existing startup-config file (named
oldConfig) into memory slot 2,
renames this file to
workingConfig, and assigns workingConfig as:
■
The active configuration file
■
The configuration file to use when booting from either primary or second
ary flash.
In this case, the switch is configured to automatically use the
workingConfig
file in memory slot 2 for all reboots.
You can use the following command to change the current policy so that the
switch automatically boots using a different startup-config file.
