Specifying an Alternative Administration Configuration
The default configuration should be sufficient for most situations. The options described in the following
Caution
sections are for rare cases in which an alternative configuration is required. Use of these options can result
in system errors or downtime. Consult Cisco technical support before using these options.
Specifying an Alternative Administration Configuration
The administration configuration stores system-wide configurations such as the SDR name and node inventory
for the entire system. This is separate from the default-SDR configuration that stores routing and interface
configurations.
The default committed administration configuration should be sufficient for most situations. The option
Caution
described in this section is for rare cases when an alternative admin configuration is required. Use of this
method can result in system errors or downtime.
Specifying a Temporary Alternative Administrative Configuration with the -o
Boot Option
This mode of administrative configuration with the -o boot option is temporary in nature. After this boot
option is set, this mode allows the router to boot from this alternative configuration, and the configuration
specified in this configuration file becomes part of the running and persistent configuration.
When the router boots with the external configuration specified by the -o option, the system loses the
Note
default configuration. The default configuration is completely replaced with this alternative configuration.
To specify a temporary administration configuration file with the -o boot option, use the following procedure.
With this method, the specified configuration file is used for a single router boot. If the RSP is reset again,
the permanent configuration file is used.
