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 stored on the switch are altered.
Phase 3: Selecting the Active Configuration File for the Switch
You have now created the 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 configuration file the next time you
reset or power cycle the switch, no further steps are necessary. The new
configuration file is already the active boot file on the device.
If you want the switch to use a different file as the active configuration
file, then perform the procedure in Setting the Active Boot Configuration
File on page 152.
If you want to create another new configuration file, repeat this
procedure starting with Phase 1.
Setting the
Active Boot
Configuration
File
This procedure selects the active boot configuration file on the switch.
The switch uses the active configuration file the next time the unit is
reset or power cycled to set its parameter settings. You can select a
configuration file that you created on the switch or that you
downloaded onto the switch from another switch.
The switch comes with one default configuration file, called
“default.cfg.” This is the default active configuration file.
Note
The active boot configuration file is updated whenever you select
the Save Configuration Changes from the Main Menu or the Save
Configuration command from the command line interface.

following procedure:
1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.

Utilities.
3. From the System Utilities menu, type 1 to select File Operations.
