Selecting a configuration block

When you make configuration changes to the switch, you must save the changes so that they are retained
beyond the next time the switch is reset. When you execute the save command, 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 the
switch 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 switch is moved to a network
environment where it will be re-configured for a different purpose.
Use the following procedure to set which configuration block you want the switch to load the next time it
is reset:
1.
At the Boot Options# prompt, enter:
Boot Options# conf
2.
Enter the name of the configuration block you want the switch to use.
The system indicates which configuration block is currently set to be loaded at the next reset, and
prompts you to enter a new choice:
Currently set to use active configuration block on next reset.
Specify new block to use ["active"/"backup"/"factory"]:
