4. From the File Operations menu, type 3 to select Create Configuration
File.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter the file name:
5. Enter a file name for the new boot configuration file.
The file name can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters. Spaces are
allowed. The filename must include the extension “.cfg”. See “File
Naming Conventions” on page 180.
Note
If a filename already exists, the system displays a message asking if
you want to overwrite the existing file name.
Note
You cannot name a boot configuration file “default.cfg.” This file
name is reserved by the switch.
6. Type 1 to select Boot Configuration File.
The following prompt is displayed:
Enter the file name:
7. Enter the same file name that you entered in Step 5.
This makes your new boot configuration file the active file on the
switch. To save any changes that you made to the switch’s parameter
settings, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then type S to
select Save Configuration Changes.
The file name is now displayed following selection 1 in the File
Operations menu. The file name should be followed by “Exist”,
meaning that the file exists in the switch’s file system. If “Not Found” is
displayed instead, the file is created the next time you select Save
Configuration Changes from the Main Menu.
Configuring the Switch’s Parameter Settings
After you create a boot configuration file and designate it as the active
boot configuration file on the switch, you should now configure the switch’s
parameter settings by making those changes that you want the new boot
configuration file to contain. Then, save your changes to the boot
configuration file by returning to the Main Menu and typing S to select
Save Configuration Changes. Failure to save your changes means that
the boot configuration file does not contain the new parameter settings.
