Chapter 14 Using the Command-Line Interface

Using the Command-line Interface

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 3002 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 Command-line Interface

To stop the command-line interface, 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 Access Rights

What you see and can configure depends on administrator access rights. If you do not have permission to configure an option, you see -), rather than a number, in menus. For example, here is the main menu for the default Monitor administrator:

-) Configuration

-) Administration

3) Monitoring

-) Save changes to Config file

5)Help Information

6)Exit

Main -> _

The default Monitor administrator can only monitor the VPN 3002, not configure system parameters or administer the system.

See Administration Access Rights Administrators in Chapter 12, “Administration”, for more information.
