The UAP maintains three different configurations.
•
Factory Default Configuration—
This configuration consists of the default settings shipped with the access point.
-
You can always return the AP to the factory defaults by using the
factory-reset
command.
•
Startup Configuration
—The startup configuration contains the settings with which the AP will use the next time it
starts up (for example, upon reboot).
-
To save configuration updates made from the CLI to the
startup configuration, you must execute the
save-
running
or
set config startup running
command from the CLI after making changes.
•
Running Configuration
—The running configuration contains the settings with which the AP is currently running.
-
When you view or update configuration settings through the CLI using
get
,
set
,
add
, and
remove
commands,
you are viewing and changing values on the
running configuration only. If you do not save the configuration (by
executing the
save-running
or
set config startup running
command at the CLI), you will lose any
changes you submitted via the CLI upon reboot.
-
The
save-running
command saves the
running configuration as the startup configuration. (The
save-
running
command is a shortcut command for
set config startup running
, which accomplishes the
same thing)
-
Settings updated from the CLI (with
get
,
set
,
add
,
remove
commands) will not be saved to the startup
configuration unless you explicitly save them via the
save-running
command. This gives you the option of
maintaining the
startup configuration and trying out values on the running configuration that you can discard (by not
saving).
-
By contrast, configuration changes updated from the Web UI are automatically saved to both the
running and
startup configurations. If you make changes from the Web UI that you do not want to keep, your only option is to
reset to factory defaults. The previous startup configuration will be lost.
