NOTE: Dell Force10 strongly recommends using local files for configuration (RPM0, RPM1
flash, or slot0).
When you specify a file as the boot config file, it is listed in the boot variables (bootvar) as
LOCAL CONFIG FILE.
• When you do not specify a boot config file, the startup-configuration is used, although
the bootvar shows LOCAL CONFIG FILE = variable does not exist.
• When you specify a boot config file, the switch reloads with that config file, rather than
the startup-config.
NOTE: If you specify a local config file which is not present in the specified location, the
startup-configuration is loaded.
The write memory command always saves the running-configuration to the file labeled
startup-configuration. When using a LOCAL CONFIG FILE other than the startup-config, use the
copy command to save any running-configuration changes to that local file.
Example
FTOS#show bootvar
PRIMARY IMAGE FILE = flash://FTOS-EF-8.2.1.0.bin
SECONDARY IMAGE FILE = flash://FTOS-EF-7.6.1.0.bin
DEFAULT IMAGE FILE = flash://FTOS-EF-7.5.1.0.bin
LOCAL CONFIG FILE = variable does not exist
PRIMARY HOST CONFIG FILE = variable does not exist
SECONDARY HOST CONFIG FILE = variable does not exist
PRIMARY NETWORK CONFIG FILE = variable does not exist
SECONDARY NETWORK CONFIG FILE = variable does not exist
CURRENT IMAGE FILE = flash://FTOS-EF-8.2.1.0.bin
CURRENT CONFIG FILE 1 = flash://startup-config
CURRENT CONFIG FILE 2 = variable does not exist
CONFIG LOAD PREFERENCE = local first
BOOT INTERFACE GATEWAY IP ADDRESS = variable does not exist
