Configuration Commands

Configuration control commands put the router in configuration mode and

allows you to save configuration changes. To show a configuration, see

TableC-13, Show Commands.

Table C-3. Configuration Commands

configure {terminal | factory}

Minimum Access Level: Administrator
Command Mode: config
Causes the router to enter configuration mode. The router stays in configuration mode
until the exit command is entered or the session times out.
Example: configure terminal
NOTES:
When in configuration mode:
–SNMP set commands or changes saved from the menu-driven user interface for
router configuration are prevented; an in use message is generated.
–Router sub-interfaces and/or DLCIs cannot be added or deleted via the
menu-driven user interface’s CreatePVC function key.
–The number of configuration commands that can be entered without performing a
save is limited; a warning message is generated.
–The only show command available is show configuration.
terminal – Enter configuration mode and a copy of the currently running configuration is
loaded into the edit buffer. Any changes made in the buffer overwrite the copied current
configuration when the save command is entered, the configuration is saved to the
currently running configuration (terminal), and an automatic reset is performed.
factory – Enter configuration mode and a copy of the factory default settings is loaded
into the edit buffer. Any changes made in the buffer overwrite the copied default settings
when the save command is entered, the configuration is saved to the currently running
configuration (terminal), and an automatic reset is performed. This is the default.

save

Minimum Access Level: Administrator
Command Mode: All config modes
Causes configuration changes to be saved to the currently active configuration, and the
router to be reset.
If the save command is entered and changes made require a re boot of the device, a
prompt states that a reset is required for the changes to take effect.
–If yes is entered, changes are stored and the device resets automatically.
A message displays when the save is complete.
–If no is entered, you stay in configuration mode.
