Automatically Moving the VACL and QoS ACL Configuration to Flash Memory

Moving the VACL and QoS ACL configuration to flash memory is done automatically only during the
system software upgrades and then only if there is not sufficient NVRAM for the upgrade. If there is not
enough NVRAM to perform a software upgrade, the QoS ACL and VACL configuration is deleted from
NVRAM and the ACL configuration is automatically moved to flash memory. When this occurs, these
syslog messages display:
1999 Sep 01 17:00:00 %SYS-1-CFG_FLASH:ACL configuration moved to bootflash:switchapp.cfg
1999 Sep 01 17:00:00 %SYS-1-CFG_ACL_DEALLOC:NVRAM full. Qos/Security ACL configuration
deleted from NVRAM.
The VACL and QoS ACL configuration has now been successfully moved to flash memory. During this
process, the system also does the following:
•
•
If an error occurs during the upgrade, these syslog messages display:
1999 Sep 01 17:00:00 %SYS-1-CFG_FLASH_ERR:Failed to write ACL configuration to
bootflash:switchapp.cfg
1999 Sep 01 17:00:00 %SYS-1-CFG_ACL_DEALLOC:NVRAM full. Qos/Security ACL configuration
deleted from NVRAM.
If you receive these error messages, the VACL and QoS ACL configuration is stored in DRAM only. You
need to make more space available in flash memory and then save the configuration to flash memory (as
described in the
page
ACL configuration to NVRAM using the set config acl nvram command.

Manually Moving the VACL and QoS ACL Configuration to Flash Memory

If your VACL and QoS ACL configuration requirements require more memory than the 512-KB
NVRAM, you can manually move the VACL and QoS ACL configuration to flash memory as follows:
Specify the VACL and QoS ACL auto-config file to use to configure the switch at startup.
Step 1
Console> (enable) set boot auto-config bootflash:switchapp.cfg
CONFIG_FILE variable = bootflash:switchapp.cfg
Console> (enable)
Specify if the switch should retain (recurring keyword) or clear (non-recurring keyword) the contents
Step 2
of the CONFIG_FILE environment variable after a reset or power cycle.
Console> (enable) set boot config-register auto-config recurring
Configuration register is 0x12F
ignore-config: disabled
auto-config: recurring, overwrite, sync disabled
console baud: 9600
boot: image specified by the boot system commands
Console> (enable)
