4 Configuring the terminal
4.1 Terminal configuration
4.1.1 Introduction
A collection of all terminal settings is referred to as configuration. This section provides information on the
parts which configuration consists of. It also defines lifecycle of configuration and describes main operations,
which can be performed.
4.1.2 Configuration lifecycle
The terminal configuration may have the following states:
Running
– active configuration. It refers to the current configuration of the terminal.
Candidate
– configuration under review;
NVRAM
– configuration stored in non-volatile memory. This configuration will be used as RUNNING after
the device is loaded.
The Running configuration is loaded to a new CLI session and becomes available for review (Candidate). A
different copy of the Candidate configuration is used for each session. After a configuration (Candidate)
change in a CLI session, the user can issue a command to apply the changed configuration (the
commit
command). The
save
command saves the Running configuration into NVRAM of the terminal.
Figure 14 shows a chart of configuration lifecycle.

4.1.3 Creating a configuration backup
Configuration backups allow the terminal operation to be quickly restored after abnormal situations or
replacement. Regular manual backups of the configuration are recommended.
Terminal configuration is uploaded to a TFTP server which is available in the management network. The
copy
command is used to upload the data. Pass the uploaded terminal configuration
fs://config
and destination URI
as parameters.
