7.2.6 Comparing Configuration Files

You can compare the current configuration with the initial configuration.
Issue 01 (2011-07-15)
The user can modify the current configuration through the command line interface. To set
the current configuration as initial configuration when the switch starts next time, you can
use the save command to save the current configuration in the flash memory.
You can use the save all command to save all the current configurations, including the
configurations of the boards that are not inserted, to the default directory.
NOTE
When saving the configuration file for the first time, if you do not specify the optional parameter
configuration-file, the switch asks you whether to save the file as "vrpcfg.zip" or not.
The system software does not match the configuration file after the switch has been
upgraded.
The configuration file is destroyed or an incorrect configuration file has been loaded.
Clear the currently loaded configuration file.
Run the reset saved-configuration command to clear the currently loaded configuration
file.
– If the configuration file of the switch used for the current startup is the same as that used
for the next startup, running the reset saved-configuration command will clear both
the configuration files. The switch will uses the default configuration file for the next
startup.
– If the configuration file of the switch used for the current startup is different from that
used at the next startup, running the reset saved-configuration command will clear the
configuration file used for the current startup.
– If the configuration file of the switch used for the current startup is empty, the system
will prompt you that the configuration file does not exist after you run the reset saved-
configuration command.
If you do not run the startup saved-configuration configuration-file command to specify
a new correct configuration file, or do not run the save command to save the configuration
file after the configuration file is cleared, the switch will use the default configuration file
at the next startup.
