ip preserve

Syntax

ip preserve

Description

Enter the ip preserve statement at the end of the configuration file to be downloaded from a TFTP server. (You do not invoke IP preserve by entering a command from the CLI.)

Usage

Entering an ip preserve statement as the last line in a configuration file stored on a TFTP server allows you to download and execute the file as the startup-config file on an IPv6 switch. When the switch reboots, the configuration settings in the downloaded file are implemented without changing the IPv6 address and gateway assigned to the switch
