Loading and saving configuration files
7
Replacing the startup configuration with the running
configuration
After you make configuration changes to the active system, you can save those changes by writing
them to code flash. When you write configuration changes to code flash, you replace the startup
configuration with the running configuration.
To replace the startup configuration with the running configuration, enter the following command
at any Enable or CONFIG command prompt:
BigIron RX# write memory
Replacing the running configuration with the startup
configuration
If you want to back out of the changes you have made to the running configuration and return to
the startup configuration, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level of the CLI:
BigIron RX# reload
When the system detects differences between the running and startup configurations, it prompts
you as follows:
Are you sure? (enter ‘y’ or ‘n’):
Enter y, and press the Enter key.
Logging changes to the startup-config file
You can configure a BigIron RX Series to generate a Syslog message when the startup-config file is
changed. The trap is enabled by default.
The following Syslog message is generated when the startup-config file is changed:
startup-config was changed
If the startup-config file was modified by a valid user, the following Syslog message is generated:
startup-config was changed by <username>
To disable or re-enable Syslog messages when the startup-config file is changed, use the following
command at the global CONFIG level of the CLI:
Syntax: [no] logging enable config-changed
Copying a configuration file to or from a TFTP server
To copy the startup-config or running-config file to or from a TFTP server, use one of the following
methods.
NOTE
You can name the configuration file when you copy it to a TFTP server. However, when you copy a
configuration file from the server to a BigIron RX Series, the file is always copied as “startup-config”
or “running-config”, depending on which type of file you saved to the server.
