Transitioning to Multiple Configuration Files
At the first reboot with a software release supporting multiple configuration,
the switch:
■ Assigns the filename oldConfig to the existing startup-config file (which is
stored in memory slot 1).
■ Saves a copy of the existing startup-config file in memory slot 2 with the
filename workingConfig.
■ Assigns the workingConfig file as the active configuration and the default
configuration for all subsequent reboots using either primary or second-
ary flash.

reboot policies, and override reboot policies on a per-instance basis.
