Configuration File Manager Commands
•
The keyword, authkey, along with a related alpha-numeric text string, are automatically included in
many snapshot files (e.g., configuration snapshot all). The text string following the authkey keyword
represents a login password that has been encrypted twice. (The first encryption occurs when a pass-
word is first created by a user; the second encryption occurs when a configuration snapshot is taken.)
This dual encryption further enhances switch security. However, it is important to note that any config-
uration file (including a generated snapshot) that includes this dual-encrypted password information
will result in an error whenever it is applied to the switch via the configuration apply command. This
is a valid switch function and does not represent a significant problem. If an authkey-related error is
the only error detected, simply remove all authkey-related syntax using a text editor. If a new pass-
word is required for the switch, include valid password syntax in the configuration file or immediately
issue a new password by using the
tion on passwords, refer to
Examples
-> configuration apply new_configuration at 12:00 15 november
-> configuration apply new_configuration at 12:00 november 15
-> configuration apply newfile1 in 01:30
-> configuration apply my_switch_config in 00:05
-> configuration apply asc.1.snap in 23:00
-> configuration apply aaa_config in 12
-> configuration apply vlan_config verbose
-> configuration apply vlan_config
...
Note. When the configuration apply command is entered without at or in syntax information, one or
more dots "." is displayed in the next line, immediately following the command line. This indicates
command progress; each dot represents 256 text lines in the configuration file processed by the
configuration apply mechanism.
