configuration files can be selected as a system start-up file or can be
uploaded via TFTP to a server for backup. A file named
“Factory_Default_Config.cfg” contains the system default settings
and cannot be deleted from the system.
•Operation Code — System software that is executed after boot-up,
also known as run-time code. This code runs the switch operation and
provides the CLI, Web and SNMP management interfaces.
•Diagnostic Code — Software that is run during system boot-up, also
known as POST (Power On Self-Test). This code also provides a
facility to upload firmware files to the system directly through the
console port.
Due to the size limit of the flash memory, the switch supports only two
operation code files, and two diagnostic code files. However, you can have
as many configuration files as available flash memory space allows.
In the system flash memory, one file of each type must be set as the
start-up file. During a system boot, the diagnostic and operation code files
set as the start-up file are run, and then the start-up configuration file is
loaded.
System Defaults
The switch’s system defaults are provided in the configuration file
“Factory_Default_Config.cfg.” To reset the switch defaults, this file
should be set as the startup configuration file.
