Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File Initial Configuration
4.3.3 Viewing the Current Configuration
To view the current configuration:
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the
enable
command.
2.
Enter the following command to display the status of each command line:
Note
Remember that the Active configuration contains both the Startup configuration
and any configuration changes that you’ve made active in the current
configuration session.
The CLI displays the Active configuration file with the following possible annotations:
•
Commands without errors are displayed without any annotation.
•
Commands with errors are annotated with an “
E:
.”
•
If a particular command has been applied such that it can be expanded on additional interfaces/line
cards, it is annotated with a “
P:
.” For example, if you enable STP on all ports on the RS, but the RS
contains only one line card, the configuration lines that enable STP will be applied to all ports on all
other line cards as they are added to the system.
A command like
stp enable et.*.*
would be displayed as follows:
If you update the configuration file to state specifically which Ethernet ports STP is enabled on, the “P:
” annotation
in the above command line would disappear.
system show active-config
P: stp enable et.*.*
