Saving Configuration Changes

As described in “How Configuration Changes Are Handled” on page 59, the

Web Manager and the cycli utility do not save changes as they are made.

The following procedures show the steps administrators need to take to save

changes to configuration files in different environments on the OnBoard.

When changes are made by an administrative user using the Web Manager, an

“Unsaved changes” button displays until the administrative user clicks the

“Save and apply changes button.”

When changes made by the administrator using the cycli utility are not

saved (committed) and the administrator enters the quit command, the utility

displays the prompts shown in the following screen example.

T To Save Configuration Changes

1. If you are logged into the Web Manager as an administrative user, click

the “Save and apply changes” button.

2. To save configuration changes made while using the cycli utility, while

you are logged into the OnBoard console, either invoke the cycli utility

using the -C option or enter the commit command after performing

configuration and before quitting cycli.

Unsaved changes A red button blinks above this label when unsaved

changes exist.

cli> quit

You have made changes but haven't committed them

yet.

To commit the changes, use the "commit" command.

To revert all changes and quit without committing,

use "quit!".
