Selecting a configuration block

When you make configuration changes to the switch, you must save the changes so that they are retained beyond the next time the switch is reset. When you execute a save operation (copy running-config startup- config), your new configuration changes are placed in the active configuration block. The previous configuration is copied into the backup configuration block.

There is also a factory configuration block. This holds the default configuration set by the factory when the switch was manufactured. Under certain circumstances, it may be desirable to reset the switch configuration to the default. This can be useful when a custom-configured switch is moved to a network environment where it will be re- configured for a different purpose.

Use the following procedure to set which configuration block you want the switch to load the next time it is reset:

1.In Global Configuration mode, enter:

Switch(config)# boot configuration-block {activebackupfactory}

2.Enter the name of the configuration block you want the switch to use.

The system indicates which configuration block is currently set to be loaded at the next reset, and prompts you to enter a new choice:

Currently set to use active configuration block on next reset.

Specify new block to use ["active"/"backup"/"factory"]:

Resetting the switch

You can reset the switch to make your software image file and configuration block changes occur.

Resetting the switch causes the Spanning Tree Protocol to restart. This process can be lengthy, depending on the topology of your network.

To reset the switch, at the prompt, enter:

>> Switch# reload

You are prompted to confirm your request.

To display current boot options, enter:

>>Switch# show boot

Accessing the AOS CLI

To access the AOS CLI, enter the following command from the ISCLI, and reload the switch:

>>Switch# boot cli-mode aos

The default command-line interface for this switch is the AOS CLI. To access the ISCLI, enter the following command and reset the switch:

Main# boot/mode iscli
