Restoring the main next-startup configuration file
from a TFTP server
To download a configuration file from a TFTP server and specify the file as the main next-startup
configuration file, perform the task in this section.
The configuration file is automatically saved to the root directory of the default storage medium on each
MPU. (The default storage medium is user configurable. For more information, see "Managing the file
system.")
Before restoring the next-startup configuration file, make sure the server is reachable, the server is
enabled with TFTP service, and you have read and write permissions.

Deleting a next-startup configuration file

CAUTION:
This task permanently deletes the next-startup configuration file from each MPU. Before performing this
task, back up the file as needed.
You can delete the main, the backup, or both.
To delete a file that is set as both main and backup next-startup configuration files, you must execute both
the reset saved-configuration backup command and the reset saved-configuration main command.
Whichever command is executed first, the system removes the specific file attribute instead of deleting the
file. For example, if the reset saved-configuration backup command is executed first, the backup
next-startup configuration file setting is set to NULL, but the file is still used as the main file. To delete the
file, you must execute the reset saved-configuration main command.
You may need to delete the next-startup configuration file for one of the following reasons:
• After you upgrade system software, the file no longer matches the new system software.
