Chapter 36: Boot Configuration Files

562

Here are a couple examples of the command. The first example creates a
new active boot configuration file called “sw_product4.cfg”:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# boot config-file sw_product4.cfg

After you enter the command, the switch creates the file in its file system,
updates it with the current parameter settings, and finally marks it as the
active boot configuration file. The file is now ready to store any new
parameter settings you might make to the switch.

In this example, the settings of the switch are configured using a different
boot configuration file in the file system. Perhaps it is an archive copy of an
early configuration of the unit or perhaps a boot configuration file you
downloaded from another switch. In either case, this will require rebooting
the switch. The name of the file is “sw12_eng.cfg”:

awplus> enable
awplus# configure terminal
awplus(config)# boot config-file sw12_eng.cfg
awplus(config)# exit
awplus# reboot
