Figure 6-16. Example of Reboot Process and Making Changes to the Startup-Config
File
Creating an Alternate Startup-Config File. There are two methods for
creating a new configuration file:
Copy an existing startup-config file to a new filename, then reboot the
■
switch, make the desired changes to the running-config file, then execute
write memory. (Refer to figure 6-16, above.)
■ Erase the active startup-config file. This generates a new, default startup-
config file that always results when the switch automatically reboots after
deletion of the currently active startup-config file. (Refer to "Erasing a
Startup-Config File" on page 6-32.)
