Selecting a Configuration Block
When configuration changes are made to the switch, the administrator must save the changes so
that they are retained beyond the next time the switch is reset. When the save command is
issued, the new configuration changes are placed in the active configuration block. The previ-
ous configuration is copied into the backup configuration block.
There is also a factory configuration block. This holds the default configuration of the VSE
SmartConnect software. Under certain circumstances, it may be desirable to reset the switch
software to its default configuration.
Perform the following steps to select which configuration block the switch will load the next
time it is reset:
1. On the BBI, choose menu System Settings > Boot Management > General.
2. In the Boot Management window, select an option in the Next boot config block
(active, backup, or factory).
Note – When resetting the switch to its factory default configuration, the switch will retain its
stacking settings. To reconfigure or disable stacking, see “Stacking” on page 43.
3. Click Apply to submit the configuration block changes to the switch.
The changes will remain pending until the switch is next reset.
4. Click Reboot the Module to activate the new configuration block.
