The Configuration Menu 43W7774, May 2007
Applying Pending Changes
To make your configuration changes active, you must apply them. To apply configuration
changes, enter
apply at any prompt in the CLI.
NOTE – The apply command is a global command. Therefore, you can enter apply at any
prompt in the administrative interface.
Saving the Configuration
In addition to applying the configuration changes, you can save them to flash memory on the
GbE Switch Module.
NOTE – If you do not save the changes, they will be lost the next time the system is rebooted.
To save the new configuration, enter the following command at any CLI prompt:
When you save configuration changes, the changes are saved to the active configuration block.
The configuration being replaced by the save is first copied to the backup configuration block.
If you do not want the previous configuration block copied to the backup configuration block,
enter the following instead:
You can decide which configuration you want to run the next time you reset the switch. Your
options include:
The active configuration block
The backup configuration block
Factory default configuration
You can view all pending configuration changes that have been applied but not saved to flash
memory using the diff flash command. It is a global command that can be executed from
any menu.
For instructions on selecting the configuration to run at the next system reset, see “Selecting a
Configuration Block” on page 336.
