Figure 35 Configuration loading process during startup
The device uses the following process to select the startup configuration file to load at startup:
1. If you access the Boot menu to select the Skip Current System Configuration option, the device
starts up with empty configuration. All parameters use their initial settings.
2. If you do not start the device with empty configuration, the following process applies:
a. If you have specified a main startup configuration file, and this configuration file is available,
the device starts up with this startup configuration file.
b. If you have not specified a main startup configuration file, or the specified main startup
configuration file is not available, the device searches for the backup startup configuration file.
c. If you have not specified a backup startup configuration file, or the specified file is not
available, the device starts up with the default configuration file (factory defaults). If a
parameter is not included in the default configuration file, its initial setting is used.
