Note
Application files can be very long when displayed (by using the
mand). To make them easier to read, many default commands are not dis-
played when executing the
administrator may want to see the entire configuration, including these nor-
mally "hidden" default commands. To see all commands, execute the
config defaults
afterwards, you will see all the commands, a list which is significantly longer.
To hide these hidden commands again, issue the

Modifying the running configuration at the CLI
SmartWare accepts interactive modifications on the currently running configuration via the CLI. Interactive
configuring needs access to the CLI. Use the

can enter the configuration commands that are necessary to your SmartNode's operation. When you configure
SmartWare by using the CLI, the shell executes the commands as you enter them.
When you log in using the CLI, all commands you enter directly modify the running configuration located in
the volatile memory region system: (or RAM) of your SmartNode. Because it is located in volatile memory, to
be made permanent, your modifications must be copied to the persistent (non-volatile) memory. In most cases
you will store it as the upcoming startup configuration in the persistent memory region nvram: under the name
startup-config. On the next start-up the system will initialize itself using the modified configuration. After the
startup configuration has been saved to persistent memory, you have to restart the SmartNode by using the
reload command to cause the system to initialize with the new configuration.
The execution command
• graceful—reloads the system only if no voice calls are ongoing. If there are voice calls, the system waits until
they all are closed to reload.
• forced—reloads the system without prompting for confirmation or for saving the running-configuration
(no need to type yes or no). The question whether to save the running-configuration is automatically
answered with no, the question whether to reload or not with yes.
