Configuring the System
In order to configure the unit you must be at the Administrator access level.
Configuration changes take effect immediately. However, the changes are made to
the running configuration, which is in RAM (Random Access Memory). You must
enter the save command to save your changes to the startup configuration in
NVRAM (Non-Volatile RAM).
If there are unsaved changes, an exclamation point (!) is added to the prompt to
remind you, or other administrators, of the outstanding changes. The changes
remain in RAM and can be saved until the unit is powered off or reset.
For information about what elements of the system you can configure, see
Configure in Chapter 3, Commands.
