  • 1.  Default Config vs Startup Config

    Hi all.  I am in the process of building a baseline config for my 2030M access switches, which I am planning to deploy using the TFTP method.  I have a question regarding the CLI commands that I need to run in order to do this.  I have entered the following command, which copies the .cfg to the default config.

    copy tftp default-config <x.x.x.x> <myconfig.cfg>

    My question is how do I specify this default config file to be designated as the startup config file?  Do I have to erase the (active) running config, by entering the erase-startup command, reload the switch, which would then pick up the custom .cfg file that I have deployed?

    With cisco CLI, you can copy a .custom cfg file which resides in the flash dir, to the start-up config quite easily, but I am not familiar with the Aruba OS-S.  Thanks.

    2930M switches perhaps?

    The default-config becomes active when you delete the current config, otherwise it's just there.

    What you seem to want is to either overwrite the startup-config or the running-config. The former becomes active after a reboot, the latter immediately.

    Hi Zac, yes that is correct.  It was a typo.
