Syntax shortcuts

A command or parameter can be abbreviated as long as enough text is entered to distinguish it
from other commands at that level. For example, given the possible commands copy tftp... and

Saving configuration changes

You can make configuration changes while the device is running. The type of configuration change
determines whether or not it becomes effective immediately or requires a save to flash (write
memory) and reset of the system (reload), before it becomes active.

In all cases, if you want to make the changes permanent, you need to save the changes to flash
using the write memory command. When you save the configuration changes to flash, this will
become the configuration that is initiated and run at system boot.
NOTE
Most configuration changes are dynamic and thus do not require a software reload. If a command
requires a software reload to take effect, the documentation states this.
