Syntax: show config files
This command displays the available startup-config files on
the switch and the current use of each file.
id: Identifies the memory slot for each startup-config file
available on the switch.
act: An asterisk (
* ) in this column indicates that the
corresponding startup-config file is currently in use.
pri: An asterisk (
* ) in this column indicates that the
corresponding startup-config file is currently assigned to the
primary boot path.
sec: An asterisk (
* ) in this column indicates that the
corresponding startup-config file is currently assigned to the
secondary boot path.
name: Shows the filename for each listed startup-config file in
the switch. Refer to “Renaming an Existing Startup-Config
File” on page 6-31 for the command you can use to change
existing startup-config filenames.
In the default configuration, if the switch was shipped from
the factory with software installed in both the primary and
secondary boot paths, then one startup-config file named
config1 is used for both paths and is stored in memory slot 1.
Memory slots 2 and 3 are empty in this default configuration.
