NOTE
Option 23 adds configuration information to the running-config file on the device, and does not
replace commands. To replace configuration information on the device, use no forms of the
configuration commands to remove the configuration information, then use configuration
commands to create the configuration information you want. Option 30 erases the entire
running-config file and replaces it with the new configuration file.
erase flash primary - Erases the image stored in primary flash memory.
erase flash secondary - Erases the image stored in secondary flash memory.
erase startup-config - Erases the configuration stored in the startup configuration file. The
running configuration remains intact until the system is restarted.
flash memory – The flash memory can include the following files:
-
monitor, which contains the management module Real Time Operating System (RTOS).
-
primary, which contains the management module primary IronWare image.
-
secondary, which contains the management module secondary IronWare image.
NOTE
A Multi-Service IronWare image contains the layer 1 – 3 software that runs on the
management module.
During startup or switchover, the standby module flash memory version is compared to the
version on the active module. If the versions are different, the standby module flash memory is
synchronized to match the active module version. If you update the flash memory on the active
module, the standby module code is automatically synchronized (without comparison) to
match the active module version.
System-config file – The flash memory also includes the system-config file. During startup or
switchover, the system-config file on the standby module is compared to the file on the active
module. If the system-config file on the standby module does not match that of the active
module, the standby module system-config file is synchronized to match the active module
system-config file. When you save changes to the system-config file on the active module, the
system-config file on the standby module is automatically synchronized (without comparison)
to match the system-config on the active module.
