Chapter 15: File System Commands

SET CONFIG
Syntax
set config=”filename.cfg”
Parameter
config Specifies the name of the configuration file to act as
the active configuration file for the switch. The name
can be from 1 to 16 alphanumeric characters, not
including the extension “.cfg”. If the filename contains
spaces, it must be enclosed in double quotes.
Description
This command sets the active configuration file for a switch. The switch
uses the active configuration file to configure its parameter settings
when it is rebooted or power cycled.
To view the name of the current active configuration file, see SHOW
CONFIG on page 64.
You can specify a configuration file that already exists in the switch’s file
system, or one that does not. To view the configuration files already in a
switch’s file system, see SHOW FILE on page 234. Configuration files have
a “.cfg” extension.
Note
The active boot configuration file is updated when you use the SAVE
CONFIGURATION command.
Selecting a new active boot configuration file does not change the
current configuration of the switch. If you want the switch to reconfigure
itself according to the configuration in the newly assigned active boot
configuration file, reset or power cycle the unit.
You do not need to use the SAVE CONFIGURATION command when you
change the designated active configuration file. The change is saved to
permanent memory automatically.
If you specify a nonexistent configuration file, the switch creates the file
after you use the SAVE CONFIGURATION command.
