Configuration restore without force option

If the two configuration files backed up are file1 and file2:

Prerequisites

Backup the configuration using either the traditional copy config or the cfg-backup commands.

Procedure

Execute the show config files command. By default, the config file provides all the associations.

switch(config)# show config files

Configuration files:

 id | act pri sec | name
 ---+-------------+-------
  1 |  *   *   *  | config
  2 |             | file1
  3 |             | file2
  4 |             |
  5 |             |

Use cfg-restore flash file1 command to see the configuration of file1.
```
switch(config)# cfg-restore flash file1
```
Even after executing the previous command, associations will remain the same, but the running configuration is replaced by file1 configuration.
NOTE:
In a configuration restore without reboot, the association remains the same. The default config file is updated based on the configuration of the restored file.
