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)#
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"]:
boot configuration-block {active|backup|factory}
