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 175.
To create another new boot configuration file, then repeat this
procedure starting with ”Creating a Boot Configuration File” on page
173.
