switch to use the next time it is reset or power cycled.

The file name is displayed 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. In the future, the switch uses
the newly selected boot configuration file whenever you reset the unit,
unless you designate another boot configuration file as the active boot
file.

Note

If “Not Found” appears, the file does not exist. If you reboot the
switch using a nonexistent boot configuration file, the switch is reset
to its factory default settings.

configuration file, reset or power cycle the switch.
