3Com 3800 Saving Conguration Changes

10-2 CHAPTER 10: SOFTWARE UPGRADE AND BOOT OPTIONS

You can select which image the Switch will load on the next reboot by

using the following command:

use image {primary | secondary}

If you do not specify which image to use, the Switch automatically

loads the primary image.

Rebooting the Switch

To reboot the Switch, use the following command:

reboot

Saving Conﬁguration Changes

The conﬁguration is the customized set of parameters that you have

selected to run on the Switch. As you make conﬁguration changes, the

new settings are stored in run-time memory. Settings that are stored in

run-time memory are not retained by the Switch when the Switch is

rebooted. In order to retain the settings, and have them be loaded

when you reboot the Switch, you must save the conﬁguration to

non-volatile storage.

The Switch 3800 can store two different conﬁgurations; a primary and

a secondary. When you save conﬁguration changes, you can select

which conﬁguration you want the changes saved to. If you do not

specify, the changes are saved to the current conﬁguration area.

If you have made a mistake, or have the need to go back to the

conﬁguration as it was before you started making changes, you can tell

the Switch to use the unchanged conﬁguration on the next reboot.

To save the conﬁguration, use the following command:

save config {primary | secondary}
