Selecting A Configuration Block - Lenovo RackSwitch G8264 Command Reference Manual

Selecting a Configuration Block

© Copyright Lenovo 2017
When you make configuration changes to the RackSwitch G8264, you must save
the changes so that they are retained beyond the next time the switch is rebooted.
When you perform a save operation, 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 your RackSwitch G8264 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 RackSwitch G8264 is moved to a
network environment where it will be re‐configured for a different purpose.
In Global Configuration mode, use the following command to set which
configuration block you want the switch to load the next time it is rebooted:
RS G8264(config)# boot configuration­block {active|backup|factory}
