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.

6. To activate the parameter settings in the newly selected boot

configuration file, reset or power cycle the switch.
