Commands to Display and Change Configuration
Settings
Introduction
This section lists the type of commands that operate on the configuration settings
stored in VRAM and NVRAM.
The CHANGE and SET commands listed in the following chapters have an
immediate effect when you enter them. When you use the DEFINE command,
however, the changes are delayed:
• If you use the DEFINE command to make changes to a given port, these
changes take place the next time that a user logs in to the port.
• If you use the DEFINE command to make changes to access server settings,
these changes take effect the next time you initialize or plug in the server.
Reference
The Cabletron Network Access Software Command Reference guide describes the
syntax, range of values, and defaults for all these types of commands. Use the
Command Reference as a source of supplementary information as you go through
the examples and procedures in this manual.
