Specifying a Permanent Alternative Administrative Configuration File with
the IOX_ADMIN_CONFIG_FILE= Variable
This mode of alternative administrative configuration with the IOX_ADMIN_CONFIG_FILE= variable is
permanent in nature. After this variable is set, this mode allows the router to always boot from this alternative
configuration, and the system does not revert to the default commited configuration on the next system reload.
Note When the router boots with the external configuration specified by the IOX_ADMIN_CONFIG_FILE=
variable, the system loses the default configuration. The default configuration is completely replaced with
this alternative configuration.
To permanently change the location of the default administration configuration file, specify the filename and
directory path in the IOX_ADMIN_CONFIG_FILE= environment variable while in ROM Monitor mode.
Specifying the environment variable forces the use of the specified file for all boots while this variable is set.
