Using the Flash File System Chapter 30 Using the Flash File System To set the default Flash device, perform this task: Step 1 Step 2 Task Set the default Flash device for the system. Verify the default Flash device for the system. Command cd [[m/][bootflash:]] pwd [mod_num] This example shows how to change the default Flash device to bootflash: and verify the default device: Console> (enable) cd bootflash: Console> (enable) pwd bootflash Console> (enable) Setting the Text File Configuration Mode When you configure the switch to use text file configuration mode, the switch stores its configuration as a text file in non-volatile storage, either in NVRAM or FLASH memory. This text file consists of commands entered by you to configure various features. For example, if you disable a port, the command to disable that port will be in the text configuration file. Since the text file contains only commands you have used to configure your switch, it typically uses less NVRAM or FLASH memory space than binary configuration mode. Because the text configuration file in most cases requires less space, NVRAM is a good place to store the file. If the text file exceeds NVRAM space, it can also be stored to FLASH memory. When the switch is operating in text file configuration mode, most user settings are not immediately saved to NVRAM. Configuration changes are written only to DRAM. You will need to enter the write memory command to store the configuration in non-volatile storage. Note VLAN commands are not saved as part of the configuration file when the switch is operating in text mode with the VTP mode set to server. To set the text file configuration mode, perform this task: Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Task Command Set the file configuration mode for the system to set config mode {binary | text} [nvram | text. device:file-id] Verify the file configuration mode for the system. show config mode Save the text file configuration. write memory Display the current runtime configuration. show running-config all Display the startup configuration that will be used show config after the next reset. This example shows how to configure the system to save its configuration as a text file in NVRAM, verify the configuration mode, and display the current runtime configuration: Console> (enable) set config mode text nvram Binary system configuration has been deleted from NVRAM. Configuration mode set to text. Use the write memory command to save configuration changes. 30-2 Software Configuration Guide-Catalyst 4000 Family, Catalyst 2948G, Catalyst 2980G, Releases 6.3 and 6.4 78-12647-02
