6. Click the Add button to save the change to the device's running-config file.
7. Select the Save link at the bottom of the dialog. Select Yes when prompted to save the configuration change
to the startup-config file on the device's flash memory.
The configuration change is saved to the active redundant management module's startup-config file. (The
change is automatically sent to the standby module when the active module's system-config file is copied to
the standby module.)
NOTE: You also can access the dialog for saving configuration changes by clicking on Command in the tree
view, then clicking on Save to Flash.
Specifying the Default Active Module
By default, the redundant management module in the lower slot number becomes the active redundant
management module when you start the system. For example, if you install redundant management modules in
slots 1 and 8 in a BigIron 8000 chassis, the default active module is the module in slot 1.
NOTE:
• Slots in a 4-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 4, from top to bottom.
• Slots in an 8-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 4, from top to bottom.
• Slots in a 15-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 15, from left to right.
You can override the default and specify the active module.
NOTE: The change does not take effect until you reload the system. If you save the change to the active
module's system-config file before reloading, the change persists across system reloads. Otherwise, the change
affects only the next system reload.
USING THE CLI
To override the default and specify the active redundant management module, enter the following commands:
BigIron(config)# redundancy
BigIron(config-redundancy)# active-management 5
Syntax: active-management <slot-num>
The <slot-num> parameter specifies the chassis slot:
• Slots in a 4-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 4, from top to bottom.
• Slots in an 8-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 8, from left to right.
• Slots in a 15-slot chassis are numbered 1 – 15, from left to right.
This command overrides the default and makes the redundant management module in slot 5 the active module
following the next reload. The change affects only the next reload and does not remain in effect for future reloads.
To make the change permanent across future reloads, enter the write memory command to save the change to
the startup-config file, as shown in the following example:
BigIron(config)# redundancy
BigIron(config-redundancy)# active-management 5
BigIron(config-redundancy)# write memory
NOTE: If you do not save the change to the startup-config file, the change affects only the next reload.
