To save the running configuration to the working directory, enter the
copy running-config working
or
write memory
command at the prompt, as shown:
-> copy running-config working
or
-> write memory
The above commands perform the same function. When these commands are issued the running configu-
ration with all modifications made is saved to a file called
boot.cfg
in the working directory.
Note.
This command will not function if the switch is running from the certified directory. See
“Where is
the Switch Running From?” on page 4-4
for an explanation.
The
copy running-config working
and
write memory
commands are described in detail in the
OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide
.
Note.
The saved
boot.cfg
file will be overwritten if the
takeover
command is executed after the
copy running-config working
or
write memory
commands in an OmniSwitch set up with redundant
CMMs.
Note.
It is important to certify the working directory and synchronize the stack as soon as the validity of
the working directory software is established in OmniSwitch 6800 and 6850 switches only. Stacks booted
from the working directory or unsynchronized stacks are at risk of mismanaging data traffic due to incom-
patibilities in different versions of switch software. Certifying the working directory is described in
“Copying the Working Directory to the Certified Directory” on page 4-21
, while synchronizing the switch
is described in
“Synchronizing the Primary and Secondary CMMs” on page 4-27
.
