Cfgedit; Executing Cfgedit; Saving Cfgedit Changes - Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch 9W006 User Manual

CFGEDIT

CFGEDIT is a menu-driven utility. It consists of multiple, detailed submenus which allow you to
set up or change configuration parameters. To better understand the structure of CFGEDIT, refer
to the CFGEDIT Map in the Appendix of the User's Guide for the Central Site CyberSWITCH.
CFGEDIT allows you to configure your system while the system software is still executing. These
configuration changes are saved in a temporary copy of configuration data. At a convenient time,
you may then reboot the system to make these changes permanent.
Configuration changes made using CFGEDIT are not recognized by SFVRA-CFG. Therefore, once
you use CFGEDIT, you must always use CFGEDIT. This documentation is written under the
assumption that you will use SFVRA-CFG. However, if you plan on using CFGEDIT, refer to the
Central Site documentation, which is included on the CD-ROM for just such a purpose. In
particular, note that the System Verification and Problem Diagnosis chapters of the Central Site
CyberSWITCH documentation are written using CFGEDIT techniques. Also, there are three
sections of configuration chapters (Basic, Security, and Advanced Configuration sections) included
in the CyberSWITCH Central Site documentation that are written for the CFGEDIT configuration
utility.

XECUTING
After the system software has been loaded, you can start CFGEDIT by entering the following
command at the system prompt as shown below:
[product name]> cfgedit
As long as there is no other "change" session active (CFGEDIT or Manage Mode), access is granted,
and the following menu is displayed:
Main Menu:
1) Physical Resources
2) Options
3) Security
4) Save Changes
Select function from above or <RET> to exit:
From this screen you will begin the configuration process. Refer to Basic Configuration and
succeeding chapters of the User's Guide for the Central Site CyberSWITCH for details on using this
utility to perform specific configuration tasks.
Remember, changes to CFGEDIT are NOT dynamic. Changes are saved in a temporary copy of
configuration data, and will not affect the current operation of the system in any way.

To terminate the session, return to the main CFGEDIT menu. If you have made changes, select
option 4 (Save Changes) before exiting. If you attempt to exit without saving, you will be prompted
