SET CONFIG
Syntax
set config=[cflash:] filename .cfg|none
Parameter
config Specifies the name of the configuration file to act as the
active configuration file for the switch. The name can be
from 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters, not including the
extension “.cfg”. If the filename contains spaces,
enclose it in double quotes.
Description
This command changes the active configuration file on a switch. The
switch uses the active configuration file to configure its parameter settings
when reset or power cycled. The switch also updates the active boot
configuration file whenever you issue the SAVE CONFIGURATION
command.
Before using this command, note the following:
ˆ To view the name of the currently active configuration file, see “SHOW
CONFIG” on page 222.
ˆ The configuration file must already exist. To view the files, see “SHOW
FILE” on page 223. Configuration files have a “.cfg” extension. To
create an entirely new configuration file, refer to “CREATE CONFIG”
on page 212.
ˆ Changing the active boot configuration file does not change the current
operating configuration of the switch. If you want the switch to
reconfigure itself according to the configuration in the newly assigned
active boot configuration file, reset or power cycle the switch.
ˆ Entering the SAVE CONFIGURATION command after changing the
active configuration file overwrites the settings in the file with the
current operating settings of the switch.
ˆ Specifying the NONE option causes the switch to operate without an
active configuration file. The switch does not allow you to save any
further configuration changes with the SAVE CONFIGURATION
command after the NONE option is specified. If you reset the switch, it
uses the BOOT.CFG configuration file to configure its settings.
However, you can still use the CREATE CONFIG command to save
the configuration to a new configuration file.
ˆ You can specify a configuration file on a flash memory card for those
systems that support the card. However, the switch does not copy the
configuration file to its file system, but instead uses and updates the
