Loading and saving configuration files 3
The configuration file contains these commands.
interface ethernet 1/1/7
ip address 10.10.10.69/24
The running-config already has a command to add an address to port 11, so the CLI responds
like this.
Brocade(config)#interface ethernet 1/1/7
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1/7)#ip add 10.10.10.69/24
Error: can only assign one primary ip address per subnet
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1/7)#
To successfully replace the address, enter commands into the file as foll ows.
interface ethernet 1/1/7
no ip address 10.20.20.69/24
ip address 10.10.10.69/24
This time, the CLI accepts the command, and no error message is displayed.
Brocade(config)#interface ethernet 1/1/7
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1/7)#no ip add 10.20.20.69/24
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1/7)#ip add 10.10.10.69/24
Brocade(config-if-e10000-1/1/7)
•Always use the end command at the end of the file. The end command must appear on the
last line of the file, by itself.

Loading the configuration information into the running-config

To load the file from a TFTP server, use either of the following commands:
•copy tftp running-config <ip-addr> <filename>
•ncopy tftp <ip-addr> <filename> running-config
NOTE
If you are loading a configuration file that uses a truncated form of the CLI command access-list, the
software will not go into batch mode.
For example, the following command line will initiate batch mode.
access-list 131 permit host pc1 host pc2
The following command line will not initiate batch mode.
acc 131 permit host pc1 host pc2
Maximum file sizes for startup-config file and running-config
Each Brocade device has a maximum allowable size for the running-config and the startup-config
file. If you use TFTP to load additional information into a device running-config or startup-config file,
it is possible to exceed the maximum allowable size. If this occurs, you will not be able to save the
configuration changes.
The maximum size for the running-config and the startup-config file is 640K each.
To determine the size of a running-config or startup-config file, copy it to a TFTP server, then use
the directory services on the server to list the size of the copied file. To copy the running-config or
startup-config file to a TFTP server, use one of the following commands:
