Selecting a Configuration Block
When you make configuration changes to the switch, you must save the changes so that they
are retained beyond the next time the switch is reset. When you perform a save operation
(
copy running-config active-config), your new configuration changes are placed in
the active configuration block. The previous configuration is copied into the backup configura-
tion block.
There is also a factory configuration block. This holds the default configuration set by the factory
when your switch was manufactured. Under certain circumstances, it may be desirable to reset
the switch configuration to the factory default. This can be useful when a custom-configured
switch 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:
In Global Configuration mode, enter:
Resetting the Switch
You can reset the switch to make your software image file and configuration block changes occur.
In Global Configuration mode, enter the following command to reset (reload) the switch:
You are prompted to confirm your request.
G8124 (config)# boot configuration-block {active|backup|factory}
G8124 (config)# reload
Reset will use software "image2" and the active config block.
Confirm reload (y/n) ?
