Saving the configuration file
Configuration and administration entries take effect immediately and are included in the active, or
running, configuration. However, if you reboot the VPN Concentrator without saving the active
configuration, you lose any changes.
To save changes to the system configuration (CONFIG) file, navigate to the main menu. At the prompt,
enter 4 for Save changes to Config file.
1) Configuration
2) Administration
3) Monitoring
4) Save changes to Config file
5) Help Information
6) Exit
Main -> 4
The system writes the active configuration to the CONFIG file and redisplays the main menu.
Stopping the CLI
To stop the CLI, navigate to the main menu and enter 6 for Exit at the prompt:
1) Configuration
2) Administration
3) Monitoring
4) Save changes to Config file
5) Help Information
6) Exit
Main -> 6
Done
Make sure you save any configuration changes before you exit from the CLI.
Understanding CLI access rights
What you see and can configure with the CLI depends on administrator access rig hts. If you dont have
permission to configure an option, you see -), rather than a number, in menus.
For example, here is the main menu for the default User administrator:
-) Configuration
-) Administration
3) Monitoring
-) Save changes to Config file
5) Help Information
6) Exit
Main -> _
The default User administrator can only monitor the VPN Concentrator, not configure system pa rameters
or administer the system.
See Administration | Access Rights | Administrators in Chapter 14, Administration, for more inform ation.
