Usage Guideline
The
boot config
command specifies the file system and file name of the
configuration file to use for initialization (startup). The configuration file must be
an ASCII file located in the specified file system.
The command takes affect immediately and will be kept in NVRAM.
In the following situations the boot configuration does not update and an error
message is displayed:
• A configuration file is specified where the filename argument does not
exist or is not valid causing the boot configuration to not update and an
error message to be displayed.
• During initialization, the factory default configuration is used when the
boot config setting does not exist or when it is null (such as at a first-time
start-up). If the software detects a problem with the boot config file, the
device uses the factory default configuration for system boot up.
• When using the no form of this command, the boot configuration resets to
the default configuration
Use the
show boot
command to view the contents of the
boot config
configuration file.
Initially, a system file is used as the factory default configuration.
