Switch Memory and Configuration
Multiple Configuration Files
If you wanted to experiment with configuration changes to the software
version in secondary flash, you could create and assign a separate startup­
config file for this purpose.
ProCurve(config)# copy config config1 config config2
ProCurve(config)# startup-default secondary config config2
ProCurve(config)# show config files
Configuration files:
id | act pri sec | name
---+-------------+---------------------
1 |
2 | * *
*
| config1
| config2
The first two commands copy the config1
startup-config file to config2 , and then
3 | |
make config2 the default startup-config
file for booting from secondary flash.

You can also generate a new startup-config file by booting the switch from a
flash memory location from which you have erased the currently assigned
startup-config file. Refer to “Erasing a Startup-Config File” in the next section.
