For contexts that are not saved because of bad sectors in the Flash memory, the following message
appears:
The context 'context a' could not be saved due to Unknown errors
To merge the startup configuration with the current running configuration, enter the following
command:
hostname(config)# copy startup-config running-config
A merge adds any new commands from the new configuration to the running configuration. If the
configurations are the same, no changes occur. If commands conflict or if commands affect the
running of the context, then the effect of the merge depends on the command. You might get errors,
or you might have unexpected results.
To load the startup configuration and discard the running configuration, restart the FWSM by
entering the following command:
hostname# reload
Alternatively, you can use the following commands to load the startup configuration and discard the
running configuration without requiring a reboot:
hostname(config)# clear configure all
hostname(config)# copy startup-config running-config
To view the running configuration, enter the following command:
hostname# show running-config
To view the running configuration of a specific command, enter the following command:
hostname# show running-config command
To view the startup configuration, enter the following command:
hostname# show startup-config
To clear all the configuration for a specified command, enter the following command:
hostname(config)# clear configure configurationcommand [level2configurationcommand]
