switch will not allow you to save any further configuration changes until
you reinsert the flash card or specify another active boot configuration
file. Additionally, if you reset the switch after removing a flash card that
contains the switch’s active boot configuration file, the management
software uses the switch’s default settings.
To select the active boot configuration file for the switch, perform the
following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.
The System Administration menu is shown Figure 4 on page 54.
2. From the System Administration menu, type 9 to select System
Utilities.
The System Utilities menu is shown in Figure 7 on page 61.
3. From the System Utilities menu, type 1 to select File Operations.
The File Operations menu is shown in Figure 60 on page 206.
4. From the File Operations menu, type 1 to select Boot Configuration
File.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter the file name (or None):
5. Enter the name of the file of the switch’s new active boot configuration
file. When entering the name, note the following:
ˆ Be sure to include the “.cfg” extension.
ˆ If the file is stored on a flash card in the switch, precede the name
with “cflash:”.
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 after the NONE option is
specified. If you reset the switch, it uses the BOOT.CFG
configuration file to configure its settings.
The name of the file should now appear following selection 1 in the File
Operations menu. The file name should be followed by “Exist”, which
means that the file exists in the switch’s file system.
If the management software is unable to find the file, it displays:
The specified file was not found on the system.
Check to be sure you entered the name of the file correctly. If
necessary, performing “Listing All Files” on page 218 to verify the
name of the file.
