Syntax Description
primary
secondary
file_name
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
Configuration files have a .cfg file extension. When you enter the name of the file in the CLI, the system
automatically adds the .cfg file extension.
There is no special significance to the primary and secondary configurations. They are just conveniences
to specify the files primary.cfg and secondary.cfg.
When you configure the switch to use a previously saved configuration, the switch displays the
following message:
The selected configuration will take effect after the next switch reboot.
You can create a new configuration file by saving your current switch configurations and using that file
on the next reboot. For example, to create a new configuration named test1 based on your current CLI
session and switch configurations, use the following command:
save configuration test1
