* Summit # save
The configuration file primary.cfg already exists.
Do you want to save configuration to primary.cfg and overwrite it? (y/N) Yes
Saving configuration on master ......... done!
Configuration saved to primary.cfg successfully.
* Additional Notes:
In Boot Rom v2.0.2.1, the config none command has been removed for security reasons. It was added back into Boot Rom v2.0.2.3.
If the config none command is not present, the only way to default the switch from boot rom is by loading a rescue image (see How to use the Boot Rom menu to tftp download a new image to the switch).
If the banner still appears after using the config none command, still login with the default username and password anyway. The banner can be stored in a different part of the memory so it displays before EXOS is fully loaded.
There is no mechanical process such as a switch to clear the config, which means console access is mandatory.
For the X430 switch, Boot Rom versions prior to 1.0.1.5 don't have the config none option. Update to at least 1.0.1.5 to be able to clear the configuration through the Boot Rom.
