boot config

This command designates the startup configuration for the next restart.

Syntax

boot config file

Availability

All platforms except Docker.

Parameters

file
Specifies the name of the startup configuration file.

Guidelines

The boot config designates the startup configuration. The startup configuration contains the configuration for the DataPower® Gateway the next time you start it. Without a configuration, the DataPower Gateway uses the config:///autoconfig.cfg file. The configuration file must be in the config: directory.

The save-config overwrite command defines the system behavior when the running configuration is saved with the write memory command.

Note: You cannot specify auto-startup.cfg as the startup configuration. config:///auto-startup.cfg is a system file that links to the file with the startup configuration. Previously this file was not shown.

Examples

  • Designate testEnvironment.cfg as the startup configuration, save the changes to autoconfig.cfg and overwrite testEnvironment.cfg.
    # boot config testEnvironment.cfg
    #
    When you view the config: directory after the running configuration is saved, the following files have the same size and time stamp.
    • auto-startup.cfg
    • autoconfig.cfg
    • testEnvironment.cfg
  • Designate testEnvironment.cfg as the startup configuration and save the changes to only autoconfig.cfg.
    # boot config testEnvironment.cfg
    # no save-config overwrite
    #
    When you view the config: directory after the running configuration is saved, notice the following details.
    • The testEnvironment.cfg file retains its original size and time stamp.
    • The following files have the same size and a later time stamp.
      • auto-startup.cfg
      • autoconfig.cfg
