¥ Ethernet IP address
¥ TCP/IP routing
¥ Remote router default bridging destination
¥ TCP/IP route addresses
¥ SAPs and bridging
¥ Adding a new remote entry to the remote database.
A reboot also ensures that all file system updates are completed. There is a time lag between the entry of a save
command and the safe storage of the data in FLASH memory. If the power goes off before the data is stored in
memory, the data can be lost. Always reboot before powering off the router. Or, use the sync command (page 203)
to commit file changes to memory.
option If no option is specified, the router is rebooted using the existing configuration file.
default This option deletes the system configuration file and restores the router to its original defaults
(before any configuration was entered).
Note: The word default must be fully spelled out.
factory This option deletes all files except AUTOEXEC.OLD if it exists. AUTOEXEC.OLD is renamed
AUTOEXEC.BAT; it is re-executed by the reboot. This option also resets the non-volatile RAM;
thus deleting the IP address of the router and the TFTP server during the boot process and also
forcing the router to boot from FLASH instead of from the network.
SAVE
The save command saves the entire routerÕs configuration or parts of it to FLASH memory. The keyword in the
command determines what is saved.
Note: There is a time lag between the response issued by the save command and the time when the data is actually
stored in FLASH memory. Issue a sync command after a save command before powering off the router. This
commits the changes to FLASH memory.
Examples:
save all Saves the configuration settings for the system, Ethernet LAN, DSL line, and remote
router database into FLASH memory.
save atom Saves the ATM configuration settings.
save dhcp Saves the DHCP configuration settings into FLASH memory.
save dod Saves the current state of the remote router database.
