Switch Memory and Configuration
Multiple Configuration Files on 5300xl and 4200vl Switches
Figure 6-23 illustrates using erase config < filename > to remove a startup-config
file.
Figure 6-23. Example of Erasing a Non-Active Startup-Config File
With the same memory configuration as is shown in the bottom portion of
figure 6-23, executing erase startup-config boots the switch from primary flash,
resulting in a new file named minconfig in the same memory slot. The new file
contains the default configuration for the software version currently in pri-
mary flash.
Using the Clear + Reset Button Combination To Reset
the Switch to Its Default Configuration
The Clear + Reset button combination described in the Installation and
Getting Started Guide produces different results, depending on which soft-
ware release is stored in primary flash. That is, when you press the Clear +
Reset button combination:
■ Scenario 1: If the primary flash location has a software release that does
not support multiple configuration files (that is, earlier than E.09.xx) and
the switch is running on software release E.09.xx or greater in secondary
flash, then the switch:
• Overwrites the content of the startup-config file currently in memory
slot 1 with the default configuration for the software version in
primary flash. (The filename does not change.)
