Allied Telesis 2.6.1 Saving Configuration Entered with the GUI, Configuring Multiple Devices

Getting Started with the Graphical User Interface (GUI) 37

Saving Configuration Entered with the GUI

Configuration changes applied using the GUI can be saved to a configuration script by clicking the Save button at the top of the sidebar menu. A pop-up Save window gives you the option of saving to the current configuration file,

Save button another existing file, or a new file. You can also choose to use this configuration at bootup.

When the Save button is red, this indicates that changes have been made to the configuration and not yet saved. If you attempt to exit the GUI without saving the configuration, a pop-up window will allow you to choose whether or not to save.

Combining GUI and CLI Configuration

You can alternate between the GUI and the CLI without difficulty. Note that GUI pages will not automatically refresh to reflect changes in the CLI configuration; you must reload the relevant page (for example, by clicking the Refresh button on your browser).

Configuring Multiple Devices

If you are configuring a number of switches with similar requirements, you may wish to:

1.Configure one device, using either the CLI or the GUI

2.Save that configuration. This creates a configuration file, stored in the switch’s FLASH memory. The file consists of a sorted list of the CLI commands that make up the configuration

3.Upload that file to a PC, using either the CLI or the GUI

4.Open the file in a text editor, make changes as required, and download the file onto each switch you need to configure.
