Cisco 860VAE Routers—Custom Configuration File
On Cisco 860VAE routers, the reset button can be used to load a custom configuration file without

router's compact flash.
The custom configuration file must be named one of the following:
customer-config
SN-customer-config
where “SN” is the unique hardware serial number.
When the system attempts to load a custom configuration file, configuration files on a USB flash drive
have priority over configuration files on the router's flash drive and the “SN-customer-config” file name
has priority over the “customer-config” file name. The priority for loading a configuration file is as
follows:
1.
USB flash0: SN-customer-config
2.
