Note
Only the active boot configuration file is changed when you select
the Save Configuration Changes option in the Main Menu. No other
boot configuration files that are stored on the switch are altered.
Selecting the Active Boot Configuration File for the Switch
You have now created the boot configuration file, made the necessary
changes to the switch’s parameter settings, and saved the changes. If you
want the switch to use this new boot configuration file the next time you
reset or power cycle the switch, no further steps are necessary. The new
boot configuration file is already the active boot file on the device.
But if you want the switch to use a different file as the active boot
configuration file, then perform the procedure in “Setting the Active Boot
Configuration File” on page 186.
