You can save your changes to the boot.params file by
entering commit file at the boot prompt:
Boot > commit file
When the commit file command is used, changes will not
be enabled until after the next switch reboot.
8 You can also save your changes in real time to the
switch's running memory by entering commit system at
the boot prompt:
Boot > commit system
Caution. There are two important things to consider while
using the commit system command to save serial connec-
tion changes:
Output to the terminal may become illegible due to
•
incompatible serial connection settings between the
switch and the terminal emulation software.
If you use the commit system command only, changes
•
will not be saved to the switch's boot.params file and
will be lost if the switch is rebooted. To save changes
to the boot.params file, refer to step 7.
