Symptom:

Switch 5500 - Why a saved configuration file can not be loaded

Configuration can be modified after rebooting and saved - however the switch will
not load saved configuration file upon next reboot

Cause:

Once "Skip current configuration file" option is enabled, the switch will ignore
any configuration file saved in the flash memory, and factory default configuration
file instead, until the next time the bootrom is accessed and "Skip current
configuration file" disabled.

Fact:

Bootrom option 7 "Skip current configuration file" enabled

"Configuration file is not used" displayed during bootup process
