Managing Startup-Config Files In The Switch - HP ProCurve 6400cl Series Management And Configuration Manual

Overriding the Default Reboot Configuration Policy. This command
provides a method for manually rebooting with a specific startup-config file
other than the file specified in the default reboot configuration policy.
Syntax:
boot system flash < primary | secondary > config < filename >
Specifies the name of the startup-config file to apply for the
immediate boot instance only. This command overrides the
current reboot policy. Software release E.09.xx or greater
must be in the selected boot path (primary or secondary) to
include config < filename > in the command string. (This
command is not supported in earlier software releases.)
Using Reload To Reboot From the Current Flash Image and Startup-
Config File.
Syntax:
reload
This command boots the switch from the currently active flash
image and startup-config file. Because reload bypasses some
subsystem self-tests, the switch boots faster than if you use a
boot command.
Note: To identify the currently active startup-config file, use
the show config files command. For an example, refer to
"Rebooting from the Current Software Version" on page 6-19.
