Information
To display these changes in the show bootvar command output, you must save the running
configuration to the startup configuration (copy running-config startup-config or write).
Dell Force10 strongly recommends using local files for configuration (RPM0 or RPM1 flash or slot0).
When you specify a file as the boot config file, it is listed in the boot variables (bootvar) as
LOCAL
CONFIG FILE
. If you do not specify a boot config file, then the startup-configuration is used, although
the bootvar shows
LOCAL CONFIG FILE = variable does not exist. When you specify a boot config
file, the switch reloads with that config file, rather than the startup-config. Note that if you specify a
local config file which is not present in the specified location, then the startup-configuration is loaded.
The write memory command always saves the running-configuration to the file labeled
startup-configuration. When using a
LOCAL CONFIG FILE other than the startup-config, use the copy
command to save any running-configuration changes to that local file.
