Chapter 16 Configuring Access Control
Configuring and Storing VACLs and QoS ACLs in Flash Memory
Manually Moving the VACL and QoS ACL Configuration to Flash Memory
If your VACL and QoS ACL configuration requirements require more memory than the 512-KB
NVRAM, you can manually move the VACL and QoS ACL configuration to Flash memory as follows:
Step 1
Specify the VACL and QoS ACL auto-config file to use to configure the switch at startup.
Console> (enable)
set boot auto-config bootflash:switchapp.cfg
CONFIG_FILE variable = bootflash:switchapp.cfg
Console> (enable)
Step 2
Specify if the switch should retain (
recurring
keyword) or clear (
non-recurring
keyword) the contents
of the CONFIG_FILE environment variable after a reset or power cycle.
Console> (enable)
set boot config-register auto-config recurring
Configuration register is 0x12F
ignore-config: disabled
auto-config: recurring, overwrite, sync disabled
console baud: 9600
boot: image specified by the boot system commands
Console> (enable)
Step 3
Specify if the auto-config file should be used to overwrite the NVRAM configuration or be appended to
what is currently in NVRAM.
Console> (enable)
set boot config-register auto-config append
Configuration register is 0x12F
ignore-config: disabled
auto-config: recurring, append, sync disabled
console baud: 9600
boot: image specified by the boot system commands
Console> (enable)
Step 4
Specify if synchronization should be enabled or disabled. With synchronization enabled, the auto-config
file(s) synchronize automatically to the standby supervisor engine.
Console> (enable)
set boot config-register auto-config sync enable
Configuration register is 0x12F
ignore-config: disabled
auto-config: recurring, append, sync enabled
console baud: 9600
boot: image specified by the boot system commands
Console> (enable)
Step 5
Save committed VACL and QoS ACL configuration changes to the auto-config file.
Console> (enable)
copy acl-config bootflash:switchapp.cfg
Upload ACL configuration to bootflash:switchapp.cfg
2843644 bytes available on device bootflash, proceed (y/n) [n]?
y
ACL configuration has been copied successfully.
Console> (enable)
Step 6
Delete the VACL and QoS ACL configuration from NVRAM.
Console> (enable)
clear config acl nvram
ACL configuration has been deleted from NVRAM.
Warning: Use the copy commands to save the ACL configuration to a file and
the ’set boot config-register auto-config’ commands to configure the
auto-config feature.
