ASCII Configuration Generator
The primary goal of the ASCII Configuration Generator (ACG) is to provide
the users of the Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series with a tool that lets
them easily modify configuration of a particular switch or stack.
ACG generates an ASCII configuration file which reproduces the behavior of
the current binary configuration file. The user can also rely on this function
to maintain backup configurations, as well as use it as a reliable method for
debugging the current configuration of a switch.
ATTENTION
When you are connected to a stack form the console port, ensure that the console
is on the base unit before downloading an ASCII file.
The Ethernet Routing Switch 2500 Series can download an editable ASCII
configuration file from the TFTP server. You can load the ASCII configuration
file automatically at boot time or on demand using console menus or CLI.
Once downloaded, the configuration file automatically configures the switch
according to the Command Line Interface (CLI) commands in the file. The
maximum size for an ASCII configuration file is 100 KBs; larger configuration
files must be split into multiple files.
For more information on loading the ASCII configuration file automatically,
see "Automatically loading Configuration file" (page 188).
The commands that are associated with ACG are:
•
"show running-config command" (page 191)
•
"copy running-config tftp command" (page 192)
show running-config command
This command displays the current configuration of switch as a series of
CLI commands.
This command must be executed in the configuration mode and has no
parameters or variables.
The syntax of this command is:
