Selecting a Configuration Block
When you make configuration changes to the switch, you must save the changes so that they are

configuration changes are placed in the active configuration block. The previous configuration is
copied into the backup configuration block.
There is also a factory configuration block. This holds the default configuration set by the factory
when your switch was manufactured. Under certain circumstances, it may be desirable to reset the
switch configuration to the default. This can be useful when a custom-configured switch is moved to
a network environment where it will be re-configured for a different purpose.
Use the following procedure to set which configuration block you want the switch to load the next
time it is reset:
