ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1942
use configuration
use configuration [primary | secondary | <file_name>]
Description
Configures the switch to use a previously saved configuration on the next reboot.
Syntax Description
Default
N/A.
Usage Guidelines
XML-based configuration files have a .cfg file extension. When you enter the name of the file in the CLI,
the system automatically adds the .cfg file extension.
Do not use this command with ASCII-formatted configuration files. Those configuration files have a .xsf
file extension. For more information about using and saving ASCII-formatted configuration files see the
upload configuration [<hostname> | <ipaddress>] <filename> {vr <vr-name>} and the load
script <script-file>
commands.
There is no special significance to the primary and secondary configurations. They are just conveniences
to specify the files primary.cfg and secondary.cfg.
When you configure the switch to use a previously saved configuration, the switch displays the
following message:
The selected configuration will take effect after the next switch reboot.
You can create a new configuration file by saving your current switch configurations and using that file
on the next reboot. For example, to create a new configuration named test1 based on your current CLI
session and switch configurations, use the following command:
save configuration test1
Tracking and Displaying Switch Configuration Files. To keep track of your configuration file names, use the
ls command to display the files saved on your switch. Files with the .cfg extension are configuration
files. In addition, you can see a list of available configuration files when you use the
use
configuration
command.
primary Specifies the configuration file named primary.cfg.
secondary Specifies the configuration file named secondary.cfg.
file_name Specifies an existing user-defined configuration file name (displays a list of
available user-defined configuration files).
