Brocade Communications Systems 53-1002163-02 manual Saving your configuration changes

2 CEE Command Line Interface

NOTE

The CEE configuration is not affected by configUpload and configDownload commands entered in the Fabric OS shell.

Saving your configuration changes

Any configuration changes made to the switch are written into the running-config file. This is a dynamic file that is lost when the switch reboots. During the boot sequence, the switch resets all configuration settings to the values in the startup-config file.

To make your changes permanent, you must use either the write memory command or the copy command to commit the running-config file to the startup-config file.

Saving configuration changes with the copy command

Perform this task from privileged EXEC mode.

Enter the copy command to save the running-config file to the startup-config file.

switch#copy running-config startup-config

Saving configuration changes with the write memory command

Perform this task from privileged EXEC mode.

Enter the write memory command to save the running-config file to the startup-config file.

switch# write memory

Overwrite the startup config file (y/n): y

CEE CLI RBAC permissions

Role-Based Action Control (RBAC) defines the capabilities that a user account has based on the role the account has been assigned. Table 3 displays the permissions matrix for CEE. Permissions are specifically defined as follows:

•OM—When you enter the cmsh command, you are put directly into privileged EXEC mode.

•O—When you enter the cmsh command, you are limited to EXEC mode.

•N—You are not allowed access to the CEE CLI.

TABLE 3	CEE RBAC permissions
Root	Factory	Admin	User	Operator	SwitchAdmin	FabricAdmin	ZoneAdmin	BasicSwitchAdmin	SecurityAdmin
OM	OM	OM	O	N	O	OM	N	N	O

O = observe, OM = observe and modify, N = access not allowed

Accessing the CEE CLI through the console or Telnet

The procedure to access the CEE CLI is the same through either the console interface or through a Telnet session; both access methods bring you to the login prompt.
