Usage

Information

To display these changes in the show bootvar command output, you must save the

running configuration to the startup configuration (copy running-config

startup-config or write)......

Dell Force10 strongly recommends using local files for configuration (RPM0 or

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. If you do not specify a boot config file, then 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 that if you specify a local

config file which is not present in the specified location, then 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.

The following text is an example of output for show bootvar with no boot

configuration:

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
