Parameters

cfgfile: Specifies the name of a .cfg file. This .cfg file must already exist in the root directory of the default storage medium.

backup: Specifies the configuration file as the backup next-startup configuration file.

main: Specifies the configuration file as the main next-startup configuration file. This is the primary configuration file that the device attempts to load at startup. If the loading attempt fails, the device tries the backup next-startup configuration file.

Usage guidelines

	CAUTION: Using the undo startup saved-configuration command can cause an IRF split after the IRF fabric or an IRF member reboots. When you execute this command, make sure you understand its impact on your network.

The startup saved-configuration command applies to each MPU. To successfully execute this command, make sure the specified file has been saved in the root directory of the default storage medium on each MPU. In addition, make sure the default storage media are the same type across all the MPUs.

If the USB disk is used to store the startup configuration files, make sure the specified file is saved to the root directory of the first partition on the USB disk. Do not remove the USB disk during the startup process. If you remove the USB disk, one of the following events occurs:

• In standalone mode, the device will start up with the initial settings.

• In an IRF fabric, the device will leave the IRF fabric at startup and run the initial settings.

If you do not specify the backup or main keyword, the startup saved-configuration command specifies the main next-startup configuration file.

As a best practice, specify different files as the main and backup next-startup configuration files.

The undo startup saved-configuration command changes the file attribute of the main and backup next-startup configuration files to NULL. However, the command does not delete the two configuration files.

You can also specify a configuration file as a next startup file when you use the save command to save the running configuration.

Examples

# Specify the main next-startup configuration file.

<Sysname> startup saved-configuration testcfg.cfg
Please wait ....
... Done!
