Chapter 46 User and Enable Mode Commands

46.6.1 Using a Different Configuration File

You can store up to two configuration files on the Switch. Only one configuration file is used at a time. By default the Switch uses the first configuration file (with an index number of 1). You can set the Switch to use a different configuration file. There are two ways in which you can set the Switch to use a different configuration file: restart the Switch (cold reboot) and restart the system (warm reboot).

Use the boot config command to restart the Switch and use a different configuration file (if specified). The following example restarts the Switch to use the second configuration file.

sysname# boot config 2

Use the reload config command to restart the system and use a different configuration file (if specified). The following example restarts the system to use the second configuration file.

sysname# reload config 2

"When you use the write memory command without specifying a configuration file index number, the Switch saves the changes to the configuration file the Switch is currently using.

46.6.2Resetting to the Factory Default

Follow the steps below to reset the Switch back to the factory defaults.

1Enter erase running config to reset the current running configuration.

2Enter write memory to save the changes to the current configuration file. If you want to reset the second configuration file, use the write memory command again with the specified index number.

The following example resets both configuration files to the factory default settings.

sysname# erase running-config sysname# write memory sysname# write memory 2
