Saving the configuration
In addition to applying the configuration changes, you can save them to flash memory on the switch.
IMPORTANT:
To save the new configuration, enter the following command at any prompt:
# save
When you save configuration changes, the changes are saved to the active configuration block. The
configuration being replaced by the save is first copied to the backup configuration block. If you do
not want the previous configuration block copied to the backup configuration block, enter the
following instead:
# save n
You can decide which configuration you want to run the next time you reset the switch. Your options
include:
•
The active configuration block
•
The backup configuration block
•
Factory default configuration block
You can view all pending configuration changes that have been applied but not saved to flash
memory using the diff flash command. It is a global command that can be executed from any
prompt.
For instructions on selecting the configuration to run at the next system reset, see the "Selecting a
configuration block" section in the "Boot Options Menu" chapter.
Reminders
CLI reminders prompt users to complete configuration tasks that require multiple steps. The default
setting for CLI reminders is enabled. Use the following command to disable CLI reminders:
/cfg/sys/reminders dis
The following is an example of a configuration task performed with CLI reminders enabled.
