System information

Operation 1-11
Software Release 2.0.1
C613-03018-00 REV A
Figure 1-1: Using the question mark character (“?”) to display help for the current command.
A multilingual, language-independent online help facility provides more
detailed help information via the command:
HELP [topic]
If a topic is not specified, a list of available topics is displayed. The HELP
command on page 1-69 displays information from the system help file stored
in either NVS or FLASH memory. The help file uses a simple mark-up
language to identify topics, access level (USER or MANAGER) and help text.
Both standard ASCII and Unicode character encodings are supported.
Alternate help files can be uploaded and stored in either NVS or FLASH, then
activated using the command:
SET HELP=helpfile
The current help file can be displayed with the command:
SHOW SYSTEM
The help file is easily modified, for example to provide detailed site-specific
support information. The mark-up language specification and preprocessor
program are available from your distributor or reseller.
Storing and Retrieving Configuration Information
At boot the router executes the commands in the boot script to configure the
router. The default boot script is called
boot.cfg
, but an alternative script file
can be defined as the boot script using the command:
SET CONFIG=filename
Subsequent commands entered from the command line or executed from a
script affect only the dynamic configuration in memory, which is not retained
over a power cycle. Changes are not automatically stored in nonvolatile
memory. When the router is restarted the configuration will be restored to that
defined by the boot script, or if the router was restarted using the RESTART
command on page 1-79, any script specified in the RESTART command.
To ensure that any configuration changes made after boot are retained across a
restart or power cycle, the modified configuration must be saved as a script
file, using the command:
CREATE CONFIG=filename
