Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch 6000 Installation & User Manual page 51

Here is an example:
ssr(config)# system set name "ctron-ssr-1"
ssr(config)# system set location "Sunnyvale, CA"
ssr(config)# system set contact "John Smith"
5. Use the interface add ip command to set the IP address and netmask for the en0 Ethernet
interface, as shown in the following example::
ssr(config)# interface add ip en0 address-netmask 10.50.11.22/16
The en0 interface is automatically created by the system and is reserved for the
Note:
6SSRM-02's management port.
6. To show the changes accumulated in the scratchpad, enter the show command while in
Configure mode, as shown in the following example:
ssr(config)# show
-EDIT-I-NOCONFIG, the running system has no configuration
******** Non-committed changes in Scratchpad ********
1*: system set name "ctron-ssr-1"
2*: system set location "Sunnyvale, CA"
3*: system set contact "John Smith"
When you enter commands in Configure mode, the 6SSRM-02 does not immediately execute
the commands. Instead, the 6SSRM-02 checks the syntax of the commands and if they are
syntactically correct, stores them in a temporary scratchpad in memory. The scratchpad is
automatically cleared when you log out of the SmartSwitch, so you must activate the changes
and then save them to the Startup configuration file to retain the changes, as explained below.
The scratchpad allows you to make configuration changes without worrying about the order
in which you issue the commands. Also, if you change your mind about configuration changes
you are making, you do not need to incrementally back out of the changes. You can simply
choose not to activate them. As you become more familiar with the 6SSRM-02 and the CLI and
begin to make detailed configuration changes, you may find the scratchpad quite useful. For
simple changes such as the ones in this procedure, you might instead want to activate the
changes as you go, then use CLI commands to view the results of the changes.
7. Enter the save active command to activate commands, such as the "system set..." commands
you used in Step 4, in the scratchpad.
