The device uses the following process to select the startup configuration file to load at startup:
1. If you access the Boot menu to select the Skip Current System Configuration option, the device
starts up with empty configuration. All parameters use their initial settings.
2. If you do not access the Boot menu to select the Skip Current System Configuration option, the
following process applies:
a. If you have specified a main startup configuration file, and this configuration file is available,
the device starts up with this startup configuration file.
b. If you have not specified a main startup configuration file, or the specified main startup
configuration file is not available, the device searches for the backup startup configuration file.
