Activating Configuration Changes and Saving the
Configuration File
The SSR 2100 uses three special configuration files:
• Active – The commands from the Startup configuration file and any configuration
commands that you have made active from the scratchpad (see below).
Caution
:
The active configuration remains in effect only during the current power cycle. If
you power down or reboot the SSR 2100 without saving the active configuration changes
to the Startup configuration file, the changes are lost.
• Startup – The configuration file that the SSR 2100 uses to configure itself when the
system is powered on.
• Scratchpad – The configuration commands you have entered during a management
session. These commands do not become active until you explicitly activate them.
Because some commands depend on other commands for successful execution, the
SSR 2100 scratchpad simplifies system configuration by allowing you to enter
configuration commands in any order, even when dependencies exist. When you
activate the commands in the scratchpad, the SSR 2100 sorts out the dependencies and
executes the command in the proper sequence.
Activating the Configuration Commands in the Scratchpad
The configuration commands you have entered using procedures in this chapter are in the
Scratchpad but have not yet been activated. Use the following procedure to activate the
configuration commands in the scratchpad:
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2. Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the
CLI.
3. Enter the save active command.
If you exit Configure mode (by entering the exit command or pressing Ctrl+Z) before
activating any of your changes in the scratchpad, the CLI will ask you whether you
