Selecting a Configuration Block
When you make configuration changes to the G8000, you must save the changes so that they
are retained beyond the next time the switch is reset. When you perform the save command,
your new configuration changes are placed in the active configuration block. The previous
configuration is copied into the backup configuration block.
There is also a factory configuration block. This holds the default configuration set by the factory
when your
G8000 was manufactured. Under certain circumstances, it may be desirable to reset
the switch configuration to the default. This can be useful when a custom-configured
G8000 is
moved to a network environment where it will be re configured for a different purpose.
Use the following procedure to set which configuration block you want the switch to load the
next time it is reset:
1. At the Boot Options# prompt, enter:
2. Enter the name of the configuration block you want the switch to use:
The system informs you of which configuration block is currently set to be loaded at the next
reset, and prompts you to enter a new choice:
Boot Options# conf
Currently set to use active configuration block on next reset.
