Changing the Reboot Configuration Policy. For a given reboot, the switch automatically reboots from the startup-config file assigned to the flash location (primary or secondary) being used for the current reboot. For example, when you first download a software version that supports multiple configuration files and boot from the flash location of this version, the switch copies the existing startup-config file (named oldConfig) into memory slot 2, renames this file to workingConfig, and assigns workingConfig as: ■ The active configuration file ■ The configuration file to use when booting from either primary or secondary flash. In this case, the switch is configured to automatically use the workingConfig file in memory slot 2 for all reboots. You can use the following command to change the current policy so that the switch automatically boots using a different startup-config file. 6-30
