Activating Configuration Changes And Saving The Configuration File - Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch 6000 Installation & User Manual

Here is an example:
ctron-ssr-1# system promimage upgrade 10.50.11.12 prom2
Downloading image 'prom-1.1.0.0' from host '10.50.11.12'

4. Enter the system show version command to verify that the new boot PROM software is on the
internal memory of the 6SSRM-02.
Activating Configuration Changes and Saving the
Configuration File
The 6SSRM-02 uses three special configuration files:
• Active – The commands from the Startup configuration file and any configuration commands
that you have made active from the scratchpad (see below).
: The active configuration remains in effect only during the current power cycle. If you
Caution
power down or reboot the 6SSRM-02 without saving the active configuration changes to the
Startup configuration file, the changes are lost.
• Startup – The configuration file that the 6SSRM-02 uses to configure itself when the system
is powered on.
• Scratchpad – The configuration commands you have entered during a management session.
These commands do not become active until you explicitly activate them. Because some
commands depend on other commands for successful execution, the 6SSRM-02 scratchpad
simplifies system configuration by allowing you to enter configuration commands in any order,
even when dependencies exist. When you activate the commands in the scratchpad, the
6SSRM-02 sorts out the dependencies and executes the command in the proper sequence.
