Configuring IP Addressing
IP Preserve: Retaining VLAN-1 IP Addressing Across Configuration File Downloads
Figure 8-6. Example of Implementing IP Preserve in a Switch Configuration File
For example, consider Figure 8-7:
Figure 8-7. Example of IP Preserve Operation with Multiple Switches Using the Same OS Software
If you apply the following configuration file to figure 8-7, switches 1 - 3 will
retain their manually assigned IP addressing and switch 4 will be configured
to acquire its IP addressing from a DHCP server.
ing "i

Enter p preserve" in the last line of a configuration
file imp ements IP Preserve when the file is
downloaded to the switch and the switch reboots.

Switches 1 through 3 copy and implement the config.txt file
from the TFTP server (figure 8-8), but retain their current IP
