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 specifies the active configuration file on a switch. The
switch uses the active configuration file to save its parameter settings
when the SAVE CONFIGURATION command is issued and to configure
its settings when reset or power cycled.
Before using this command, note the following:
ˆ To view the name of the currently active configuration file, see “SHOW
CONFIG” on page 202.
ˆ The configuration file must already exist. To view the files, see “SHOW
FILE” on page 203. Configuration files have a “.cfg” extension. To
create an entirely new configuration file, refer to “CREATE CONFIG”
on page 192.
ˆ Changing the active boot configuration file does not change the current
operating configuration of the switch. You must reset or power cycle
the switch after specifying the new active boot configuration file if you
want the switch to use the settings in the file.
ˆ If you specify a new active configuration file and enter the SAVE
CONFIGURATION command without resetting the switch, the current
settings of the switch overwrite the settings in the file.
ˆ The NONE option does the following:
– It removes the currently active configuration file without
assigning a new one.
– The switch continues to operate with its existing configuration
settings.
– You may make further parameter changes, but you cannot
save them.
– If you reset the switch, it uses the BOOT.CFG file to configure
its settings.
