If a custom default configuration file exists and you erase the current active config file (using the
erase startup-config command), then issue the show running-config command, the output will
display the contents of the custom default configuration file. The custom default configuration file
is loaded upon bootup.

Troubleshooting custom default configuration files
• If the switch will not boot because of a problem with the custom default configuration file, the
file can be removed using the ROM mode interface.
• The custom default configuration file cannot be erased using the front panel buttons on the
switch. If the switch can be booted, use the erase default-config command to remove the
custom default configuration file.
