Viewing the Startup-Config File Status with Multiple Configuration Enabled

Rebooting the switch automatically enables the multiple configuration fea­ ture.

Syntax: show config files

This command displays the available startup-config files on the switch and the current use of each file.

id: Identifies the memory slot for each startup-config file available on the switch.

act: An asterisk ( * ) in this column indicates that the corresponding startup-config file is currently in use. pri: An asterisk ( * ) in this column indicates that the corresponding startup-config file is currently assigned to the primary boot path.

sec: An asterisk ( * ) in this column indicates that the corresponding startup-config file is currently assigned to the secondary boot path.

name: Shows the filename for each listed startup-config file in the switch. Refer to “Renaming an Existing Startup-Config File” on page 6-31for the command you can use to change existing startup-config filenames.

In the default configuration, if the switch was shipped from the factory with software installed in both the primary and secondary boot paths, then one startup-config file named config1 is used for both paths and is stored in memory slot 1. Memory slots 2 and 3 are empty in this default configuration.
