Chapter 5 Connecting the Management Interfaces and Performing Initial System Configuration

Initial System Configuration

Step 3 You are asked whether to apply and save the configuration.

Apply and Save this configuration? [yes/no]:

To apply and save the configuration, type y and press Enter.

To abort the setup procedure without applying or saving the configuration (recommended

if there are errors), type n and press Enter.

Setup procedure aborted, no configuration changes made.

If the setup is aborted, the dialog is ended.

Step 4 If there are no errors, the system requests confirmation of either a yes or no answer, in order to prevent mistakes.

Type the appropriate answer (y or n) and press Enter.

The running configuration would be overwritten by the changes you have just entered, are you sure? [yes/no]:

The selected action is carried out by the system.

If the apply and save action is not confirmed (no), the setup is aborted.

Setup procedure aborted, no configuration changes made.

If the apply and save action is confirmed (yes), the configuration is applied and saved.

The new running configuration will be saved to the startup configuration.

Step 5 If the configuration was applied and saved, you may also save it to a file at a remote station.

Do you want to save a copy of the startup configuration file in a remote station? [no]:

To save the configuration to a remote station, type y and press Enter.

The system will ask for FTP path:

Enter a full FTP path of the remote destination:

Step 6 The system informs you that the configuration is complete.

Committing configuration...

Configuration completed successfully.

Saving configuration...

Writing general configuration file to temporary location...

Backing-up general configuration file...

Copy temporary file to final location...

Done!

This completes the procedures for initial configuration of the SCE 1000 platform.

EXAMPLE #1:

Following is an example of a configuration that the user aborted due to errors detected in the configuration.

Note that no confirmation is requested for the decision to abort the setup. Had there been no errors, confirmation would have been requested before aborting.

 

Data collection for the system configuration

is completed.

 

Would you like to view the new configuration

before it is applied? [yes/no]:

 

n

you like to view them? [yes]: y

 

Found errors in the new configuration, would
