Setting Basic System Information
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]?
8. Enter yes or y to activate the changes.
9. To display the active configuration, enter the system show active-config command, as shown
in the following example:
ctron-ssr-1# system show active-config

Changes in the active configuration take effect on the running system but will not be restored
following a reboot.
10. To ensure that changes are restored following a reboot, you must save the active database to the
Startup configuration file by taking the following steps:

b. Enter the copy active to startup command.
The CLI displays the following message:
Are you sure you want to overwrite the Startup configuration [no]?
