Activating Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File
62 Enterasys X-Pedition 2000 Getting Started Guide
1. Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2. Enter the following command to display the status of each command line:
The CLI displays the active configuration file with the following possible annotations:
– Commands without errors are displayed without any annotation.
– Commands with errors are annotated with an “E”.
– If a particular command has been applied such that it can be expanded on additional
interfaces/modules, then it is annotated with a “P”. For example, if you enabled stp on all
ports in the current system, however, the XP contains only 1 module, then that particular
command could be expanded at a later date when more modules have been added to the XP.
A command like stp enable et.*.* would be displayed as follows:
indicating that it is only partially applied. If you add more modules to the XP at a later date
and then update the configuration file to encompass all of the available modules in the XP,
then the “P:” portion of the above command line would disappear when displaying this
configuration file.
If a potentially partial command, which was originally configured to encompass all of the
available modules on the XP, becomes only partially activated (after a hotswap or some
such chassis reconfiguration), then the status of that command line will automatically
change to indicate a partial completion status, complete with “P:”.
Note: Commands with no annotation or annotated with a “P:” are not in error.
