4.7.6 Running and Stored Configuration Parameters
When the ATM TR/Ethernet Bridge Module is running, there are always the following two sets of parameters stored:
•
•
Running parameters
These are the parameter values that are in use by the operational code.
Stored parameters
These are the parameter values that exist in FLASH memory and are used only during the startup.
The stored parameters in the FLASH memory can be changed using the Configuration Utility Program by downloading new values for the configuration parameters. This can be done by creating a file of new parameter values (called profile) and sending this file to the ATM TR/Ethernet Bridge Module. To use new parameters as the running parameters, you need to restart the ATM TR/Ethernet Bridge Module.
Once the ATM TR/Ethernet Bridge Module is in operational mode, you can only view and change the stored parameters using the Configuration Utility Program. To view and change the running parameters, you must use an SNMP management station.
