Chapter 2 Managing the GSS from the CLI
Using the startup-config and running-config Files
•
SNMP enable—SNMP state of the GSS device (enabled or disabled)
Each GSS device tracks the following configurations:
•
Startup configuration—Default network configuration. The GSS loads the
startup configuration settings each time you boot the device.
•
Running configuration—Network configuration currently in use by the GSS
device.
Typically, the running-config and the startup-config files are identical. Once you
modify a configuration parameter, you must reconcile the two configuration files
in one of the following ways:
•
Save the running-config file as the new startup-config file by using the
copy
running-config startup-config
command. The GSS retains any changes to
the network configuration of the device and uses those changes when the GSS
is next rebooted.
•
Maintain the startup-config file. In this case, the GSS device uses the
running-config file until you reboot the device. The GSS then discards the
running-config file and restores the startup-config file.
To change the startup-config file for a GSS device, perform the following steps:
1.
Log in to the CLI, enable privileged EXEC mode, and access global
configuration mode on the device.
gssm1.example.com>
enable
gssm1.example.com#
gssm1.example.com#
config
gssm1.example.com(config)#
2.
Make any desired changes to the GSS configuration. For example, to change
the device hostname, use the
hostname
command in global configuration
mode as follows:
gssm1.example.com(config)#
hostname
new.example.com
new.example.com(config)#
3.
Copy the current running-config file as the new startup-config file for the
GSS by entering the following command:
new.example.com(config)#
copy running-config startup-config
