Chapter 23 Modifying the Switch Boot Configuration
Setting the Configuration Register
To enable or disable synchronization, perform this task in privileged mode:
This example shows how to enable synchronization:
Console> (enable)
set boot config-register auto-config sync enable
Configuration register is 0x12F
ignore-config: disabled
auto-config: recurring, append, sync enabled
console baud: 9600
boot: image specified by the boot system commands
Console> (enable)
This example shows how to disable synchronization:
Console> (enable)
set boot config-register auto-config sync disable
Configuration register is 0x12F
ignore-config: disabled
auto-config: recurring, append, sync disabled
console baud: 9600
boot: image specified by the boot system commands
Console> (enable)
Setting the Switch to Ignore the NVRAM Configuration
You can cause the system software to ignore the configuration information stored in NVRAM the next
time the switch is restarted. This command affects only the configuration register bits that control
whether the switch ignores the NVRAM configuration and leaves the remaining bits unaltered. This
command affects the next system restart only.
Caution
Enabling the
ignore-config
parameter is the same as entering the
clear config all
command; that is,
it clears the entire configuration stored in NVRAM the next time the switch is restarted.
To set the switch to ignore the NVRAM configuration at the next startup, perform this task in privileged
mode:
This example shows how to set the switch to ignore the NVRAM configuration at the next startup:
Console> (enable)
set boot config-register ignore-config enable
Configuration register is 0x1860
ignore-config: enabled
auto-config: recurring
console baud: 2400
boot: the ROM monitor
Console> (enable)
