configuration commands in any order, even when dependencies exist. When you
activate the commands in the scratchpad, the IA 1100/1200 sorts out the dependencies
and executes the command in the proper sequence.

Activating the Configuration Commands in the Scratchpad

The configuration commands you have entered using procedures in this chapter are in the
Scratchpad but have not yet been activated. Use the following procedure to activate the
configuration commands in the scratchpad:
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the
CLI.
3.
Enter the save active command.
If you exit Configure mode (by entering the exit command or pressing Ctrl+Z) before
activating any of your changes in the scratchpad, the CLI will ask you whether you
want to make the changes in the scratchpad active by displaying the following
message:
Do you want to make the changes Active [yes]?
4.
Enter yes or y to activate the changes.

Saving the Active Configuration to the Startup Configuration File

After you save the configuration commands in the scratchpad, the IA 1100/1200 executes
the commands and makes the corresponding configuration changes. However, if you
power down or reboot the IA 1100/1200, the new changes are lost. Use the following
procedure to save the changes into the Startup configuration file so that the IA 1100/1200
reinstates the changes when you reboot the software.
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Enter the copy active to startup command to copy the configuration changes in the
Active configuration to the Startup configuration.
The CLI displays the following message:
Are you sure you want to overwrite the Startup configuration [no]?
3.
Enter yes or y to save the changes.
Note:
You also can save active changes to the Startup configuration file from within
Configure mode by entering the save startup command.
