Running configuration file
– This file contains the configuration active in the system RAM but not yet saved
to flash. These changes could represent a short-term requirement or general configuration change. To
display this file, enter the
show running-config
or
write terminal
command at any CLI prompt.
Each device can have one startup configuration file and one running configuration file. The startup configuration
file is shared by both flash modules. The running configuration file resides in DRAM.
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 flash
memory. When you write configuration changes to flash memory, you replace the startup configuration with the
running configuration.
USING THE CLI
To replace the startup configuration with the running configuration, enter the following command at any Enable or
CONFIG command prompt:
BigIron# write memory
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
1.
Click on the plus sign next to Command in the tree view to expand the list of command options.
2.
Select the Save to Flash option.
3.
Select Yes when the Web management interface asks you whether you really want to save the configuration
changes to flash.
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, use one of the following methods.
USING THE CLI
To replace the startup configuration with the running configuration, enter the following command at the Privileged
EXEC level of the CLI:
BigIron# reload
USING THE WEB MANAGEMENT INTERFACE
1.
Click on the plus sign next to Command in the tree view to expand the list of command options.
2.
Select the Save to Flash option.
3.
Select Yes when the Web management interface asks you whether you really want to save the configuration
changes to flash.
Logging Changes to the Startup-Config File
You can configure a Foundry device 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>
USING THE CLI
To disable or re-enable Syslog messages when the startup-config file is changed, use the following command:
Syntax:
[no] logging enable config-changed
