Chapter 3
Configuration
HA4000 management is performed out of band. Use the management interface to
configure the device remotely through the command line interface (CLI) and
monitor SNMP-based performance.
This chapter describes the tasks required to configure the HA4000’s management
interface and prepare the device for operation. Administrative configuration tasks
are also included.
Before You Start
This section provides general information on using the HA4000 CLI commands
that are used to configure the HA4000’s management interfaces. For details on
each command, go to Chapter 6, "CLI Command Reference."
Save Configurations
z
When you change configuration settings on the HA4000—after you complete
all the configuration commands or after each individual command—make sure
that you save the settings. If the HA4000 device is rebooted or the power is
recycled, unsaved configurations are lost.
z
To save the running configuration, enter this command:
copy system:running nvram:config
z
Some commands don’t take effect until the HA4000 is rebooted with the
reboot
command. Refer to the specific command in Chapter 6, "CLI Command
Reference," for this information.
CLI Hierarchy
z
Command mode
is the logon hierarchy level. The command line prompt
indicates the hierarchy level. The
copy
and
show
commands and most
maintenance commands are accessed at this level.
z
Configuration mode
is where commands are entered to configure the
HA4000. To go into command mode, enter this command:
configure terminal
z
Interface configuration mode
, where the local, remote, and management
interfaces are configured, is entered from configuration mode. To go into this
mode from configuration mode, enter this command:
interface {local | remote | management}
The
exit
command leaves the current CLI mode and returns to the previous
hierarchy level.
