Chapter 11: File System Commands

172

Section II: Advanced Operations

– To be able to save configuration changes again, you must

assign a new active boot configuration file.

ˆ

If the master switch has a flash memory card, you can specify a
configuration file on a flash card as the active boot configuration file.
However, the configuration file is not copied to the master switch’s file
system, but is instead used and updated directly from the card. If you
remove the card and reset the stack, the management software uses
its default settings.

ˆ

If the file is on a flash memory card, you must change to the directory
where the file is stored before performing this command. The
command does not accept a directory path. To change directories on a
flash card, see “SET CFLASH DIR” on page 170. The default location
is the root of the flash card.

Examples

The following command selects the file stack22.cfg as the new active boot
configuration file for the stack:

set config=stack22.cfg

If you want the stack to use the settings in the file, you must reset or power
cycle the units. If, instead, you want to overwrite the settings in the file with
the stack’s current settings, enter the SAVE CONFIGURATION command.

The following command uses the NONE option to remove the current
active boot configuration file without specifying a new one. After entering
this command, you can continue to make changes to the parameter
settings of the stack devices, but you will not be able to save them. If you
reset the stack, the master switch uses the STACK.CFG file to configure
the parameter settings:

set config=none

The following command selects the file “sales stack.cfg” on a flash
memory card as the stack’s active boot configuration file:

set config=cflash:”sales stack.cfg”
