Switch Memory and Configuration
Multiple Configuration Files on 5300xl Switches

• Boots the switch from primary flash using the new (default) configu­
ration in the startup-config file in memory slot 1. Since the primary
flash in this instance does not support multiple configuration files,
the multiple configuration feature does not operate until the switch
is booted again using software release E.09.xx or greater.
This scenario does not affect any startup-config files in memory slots 2 or
3, and does not change the active, primary, and secondary assignments
the switch is maintaining in the configuration for software release E.09.xx
or greater. (Note that the same applies if the switch is running on the
software release earlier than E.09.xx in primary flash.)
■ Scenario 2: If the primary flash location has a software version that
supports multiple configuration files (release E.09.xx or greater), then the
switch:
• Overwrites the content of the startup-config file currently in memory
slot 1 with the default configuration for the software version in
primary flash, and renames this file to config1.
• Erases any other startup-config files currently in memory.
• Configures the new file in memory slot 1 as the default for both
primary and secondary flash locations (regardless of the software
version currently in secondary flash).
• Boots the switch from primary flash using the new startup-config file.
Figure 6-23. Example of Clear + Reset Result from Scenario 2 on Page
When the software version in the primary flash
supports multiple configuration files, pressing
Clear + Reset:
– Replaces all startup-config files with a single
file named config1 that contains the default
configuration for the software version in
primary flash.
– Resets the Active, Primary, and Secondary
assignments as shown here.
