Viewing User Context Running-Config Files from the Admin
Context
To display the ACE running-configuration file of a user context from the Admin
context, use the
invoke context
command in Exec mode. The syntax of this
command is as follows:
invoke context
context_name
show running-config
The context_name argument is the name of the user context.
For example, to view the running-configuration file of the C1 context from the
Admin context, enter:
host1/Admin#
invoke context C1 show running-config
Generating configuration....
Clearing the Startup-Configuration File
To clear the contents of the ACE startup-configuration file of the current context
in Flash memory, use either the
clear startup-config
or
write erase
command in
Exec mode. Both commands reset the startup-configuration file to the default
settings and take effect immediately. The running-configuration file is not
affected. In addition, the
clear startup-config
or
write erase
commands do not
clear the boot variables, such as config-register and boot system settings.
Note
The
clear startup-config
and
write erase
commands do not remove license files
or crypto files from the ACE startup-configuration file. To remove license files,
use the
license uninstall
filename
command. To remove crypto files, use the
crypto delete
filename
or the
crypto delete all
command.
Before you clear the contents of the ACE startup-configuration file, back up your
startup-configuration file to a remote server (see the
“Saving Configuration Files
to a Remote Server”
section). Once you clear the startup-configuration file, you
can perform one of the following processes to recover a copy of an existing
configuration:
•
Copy the contents of the existing running-configuration file to the
startup-configuration file by using the
copy running-config startup-config
command. See the
“Saving the Configuration File in Flash Memory”
section
