The switch displays this message:
Running configuration may change, do you want to continue
[y/n]?
To continue with the upload, press the
[Y]
key. To abort the upload, press the
[N]
key. Note that if the switch detects an illegal (non-ACL) command in the
file, it bypasses the illegal command, displays a notice (as in the tftp example
shown in Figure A-10 on page A-30), and continues to implement the remaining
ACL commands in the file.
