Chapter 15: File System Commands

 If you specify a new active configuration file for the switch, the
command displays a confirmation prompt, asking if you want to
overwrite the existing file. If you respond with yes, the existing file is
overwritten with the switch’s current settings. If you respond with no,
the file is not overwritten. In most cases, you will probably respond
with no. As explained in the standard command, after designating a
new boot configuration file, you must reset the switch if you want to
configure the unit with the settings in the file.
 If you specify a new active boot configuration file and the file does not
exist, the command creates it. In contrast, the standard command
displays an error message.
 The filename must not have spaces.
Example
This command designates the file named SW12A.CFG as the switch’s
active configuration file:
awplus# boot config-file sw12a.cfg
This command uses the NONE option to remove the current active boot
configuration file without specifying a new one. The switch does not allow
you to save any further changes to the switch’s configuration, though you
can continue to make changes. If you reset the unit, it uses the
BOOT.CFG file to configure its settings:
awplus# boot config-file none
This command specifies a configuration file named PRODUCTION.CFG
on a flash memory card as the switch’s active boot configuration file:
awplus# boot config-file cflash:production.cfg
