Quick Steps for Applying Configuration Files
Setting a File for Immediate Application
In this example, the configuration file
configfile_1
exists on the switch in the
/flash
directory. When these
steps are followed, the file will be immediately applied to the switch.
1
Verify that there are no timer sessions pending on the switch.
-> show configuration status
File configuration: none scheduled
2
Apply the file by executing the
command, followed by the path and file name. If
the configuration file is accepted with no errors, the CLI responds with a system prompt.
-> configuration apply /flash/configfile_1.txt
->
Note.
Optional. You can specify
verbose mode
when applying a configuration file to the switch. When the
keyword
verbose
is specified in the command line, all syntax contained in the configuration file is printed
to the console. (When verbose is
not
specified in the command line, cursory information—number of
errors and error log file name—will be printed to the console only if a syntax or configuration error is
detected.)
To verify whether the file was applied, enter the
command. The display is
similar to the one shown here.
-> show configuration status
File configuration </flash/configfile_1.txt>: completed with 0 errors
