Setting Config_File Recurrence - Cisco WS-C6506 Software Manual

Chapter 25 Modifying the Switch Boot Configuration
This example shows how to set the ROM-monitor console-port baud rate in the configuration register to
2400:
Console> (enable) set boot config-register baud 2400
Configuration register is 0x1800
ignore-config: disabled
auto-config: non-recurring
console baud: 2400
boot: the ROM monitor
Console> (enable)

Setting CONFIG_FILE Recurrence

By default, when you set the CONFIG_FILE environment variable, the list of configuration files to use
at startup is retained only until the next time that the switch is restarted.
You can cause the system software to retain the CONFIG_FILE environment variable settings
indefinitely so that each time that the switch is restarted, the specified configuration files are used to
configure the switch.
This command affects only the configuration register bit that controls whether the CONFIG_FILE
environment variable settings are recurring or nonrecurring. The remaining configuration register bits
are unaltered.
With the CONFIG_FILE environment variable set to recurring, the current configuration in NVRAM

is erased each time that the switch is restarted and the switch is configured using the specified
configuration files. With the CONFIG_FILE environment variable set to non-recurring, the current
configuration in NVRAM is erased at the next restart and the switch is configured using the specified
configuration files. The NVRAM configuration is retained after subsequent restarts (unless you again
set the CONFIG_FILE variable).
To set the switch to retain the current CONFIG_FILE environment variable indefinitely, perform this
task in privileged mode:
Task
Set the switch to retain the current
CONFIG_FILE environment variable
indefinitely.
This example shows how to set the switch to retain the current CONFIG_FILE environment variable
indefinitely:
Console> (enable) set boot config-register auto-config recurring
Configuration register is 0x1820
ignore-config: disabled
auto-config: recurring, overwrite, sync disabled
console baud: 2400
boot: the ROM monitor
Console> (enable)
