Restoring the main next-startup configuration file
from a TFTP server
To restore the main next-startup configuration file from a TFTP server, the device performs the
following operations:
• Downloads a configuration file from a TFTP server to the root directory of each member's flash
memory.
• Specifies the file as the main next-startup configuration file.
Before restoring the next-startup configuration file, make sure the following requirements are met:
• The server is reachable.
• The server is enabled with TFTP service.
• You have read and write permissions to the server.
To restore the main next-startup configuration file from a TFTP server:

Deleting a next-startup configuration file
CAUTION:
This task permanently deletes the next-startup configuration file from all member devices. Before
performing this task, back up the file as needed.
Delete the next-startup configuration file if one of the following events occurs:
• After you upgrade system software, the file no longer matches the new system software.
• The file is corrupt or not fully compatible with the device.
If both the main and backup next-startup configuration files are deleted, the device uses factory
defaults at the next startup.
To delete a file that is set as both main and backup next-startup configuration files, you must execute
both the reset saved-configuration backup command and the reset saved-configuration main
command. Using only one of the commands removes the specified file attribute instead of deleting
the file.
For example, if the reset saved-configuration backup command is executed, the backup
next-startup configuration file setting is set to NULL. However, the file is still used as the main file. To
delete the file, you must also execute the reset saved-configuration main command.
