Thanks bkepford for pointing me in the right direction. Should have worked this out myself!<br />
<br />
erase startup-confing<br />
Copy flash:/configs/xxxx.cfg startup-config<br />
reload<br />
<br />
wash, rinse &amp;&nbsp;repeat....<br />
<br />
Strange 'sh bootvar' isn't in my release though.

Hello, I have a test router with 2 separate configs saved to flash, Id like to how to reload the router specifying which config it should load. <br />
<br />
Ive tried the CONFIG_FILE Environment Variable with the boot command but its not working. Also if I try to run show bootvar the command is invalid as there is no bootvar command&amp;. Im running advipservicesk9. Any Ideas?<br />

Cisco 871 - 12.4  Reload Router Specifying Config to Load.

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.
