Specifying a next-startup configuration file
![]() | CAUTION: In an IRF fabric, the undo startup saved-configuration command can cause an IRF split after the IRF fabric or an IRF member reboots. | |
You can specify a .cfg file as a next-startup configuration file when you execute the save [ safely ] [ backup | main ] [ force ] command.
Alternatively, you can use the startup saved-configuration cfgfile [ backup | main ] command to specify a .cfg configuration file as the main or backup next-startup configuration file. Make sure the specified configuration file is valid and has been saved to the root directory of the default storage medium on each IRF member device.
To specify a next-startup configuration file, perform the following task in user view:
Task | Command | Remarks |
---|---|---|
Specify a next-startup configuration file. | startup saved-configuration cfgfile [ backup | main ] | By default, no next-startup configuration files are specified. Use the display startup command and the display saved-configuration command in any view to verify the configuration. If you do not specify the backup or main keyword, this command specifies the configuration file as the main next-startup configuration file. As a best practice, specify different files as the main and backup next-startup configuration files. The undo startup saved-configuration command changes the attribute of the main or backup next-startup configuration file to NULL instead of deleting the file. |
