Saving the Configuration

You can copy all MIB values from operating RAM to a configuration file for later

retrieval. You use the

save config

command to copy the configuration in memory

to the default configuration file or to an alternative configuration file. Enter the

following, where <filename> is the name of the file you are creating to store the

configuration:

save config

<vol>

Examples:

See “Booting the Router” in Chapter 8 for instructions on loading a configuration

from a file.

later. The feature enables you to track the number of packets each circuit in the

Bay Networks router processes at the data link layer.

You can enable the Bay Networks MIB to count all incoming and outgoing

packets by using the

set

and

commit

commands with the following parameter.

save config 2:config

Overwrites the default configuration file

config

on volume

2 with the configuration in memory

save config 2:config.2

volume 2 and stores the configuration residing in memory

in this file
