The Configuration Menu
Applying Pending Changes
To make your configuration changes active, you must apply them. To apply configuration
changes, enter the following command at any prompt:
#
apply
IMPORTANT:
All configuration changes take effect immediately when applied, except for starting
Spanning Tree Protocol. To turn STP on or off, you must apply the changes, save them, and then reset
the GbE2 Interconnect Switch. (Refer to the “Resetting the GbE2 Interconnect Switch” section in
Chapter 8.)
Reverting Changes
The
revert
command removes configuration changes that have been made, but not applied.
Enter
revert apply
to remove all changes that have not been saved:
#
revert
Saving the Configuration
In addition to applying the configuration changes, you can save them to flash memory on the
GbE2 Interconnect Switch.
IMPORTANT:
If you do not save the changes, they will be lost the next time the system is rebooted.
To save the new configuration, enter the following command at any prompt:
#
save
When you save configuration changes, the changes are saved to the active configuration
block. The configuration being replaced by the save is first copied to the backup
configuration block. If you do not want the previous configuration block copied to the backup
configuration block, enter the following instead:
#
save n
You can decide which configuration you want to run the next time you reset the GbE2
Interconnect Switch. Your options include:
•
•
•
The active configuration block
The backup configuration block
Factory default configuration block
You can view all pending configuration changes that have been applied but not saved to flash
memory using the
diff flash
command. It is a global command that can be executed from any
prompt.
