Switch Memory and Configuration
Multiple Configuration Files
Transitioning to Multiple Configuration Files
At the first reboot with a software release supporting multiple configuration,
the switch:
■
Assigns the filename
oldConfig
to the existing startup-config file (which is
stored in memory slot 1).
■
Saves a copy of the existing startup-config file in memory slot 2 with the
filename
workingConfig
.
■
Assigns the
workingConfig
file as the active configuration and the default
configuration for all subsequent reboots using either primary or second
ary flash.

workingConfig
file to reboot
The commands described later in this section enable you to view the current
multiple configuration status, manage multiple startup-config files, configure
reboot policies, and override reboot policies on a per-instance basis.
