You can save your changes to the
boot.params
file by entering
commit file
at the boot prompt:
Boot > commit file
When the
commit file
command is used, changes will not be enabled until after the next switch reboot.
8
You can also save your changes in real time to the switch’s running memory by entering
commit
system
at the boot prompt:
Boot > commit system
Caution
.
There are two important things to consider when using the
commit system
command to save
serial connection changes:
•
Output to the terminal may become illegible due to incompatible serial connection settings between the
switch and the terminal emulation software.
•
If you use the
commit system
command only, changes will
not
be saved to the switch’s
boot.params
file and will be lost if the switch is rebooted. To save changes to the
boot.params
file, refer to step 7.

Return to the CLI prompt by entering
exit
at the boot prompt.
