Example: Modifying the running configuration offline

The following example shows how to upload the running configuration from the SmartNode to the file cur- rent-configon a TFTP server at IP address 172.16.36.80. The uploaded configuration file is written into the root directory specified by the TFTP server settings, and overwrites any existing file with the same name. Read your TFTP server manual to get a thorough understanding of its behavior. After this, the configuration file is available for offline editing on the TFTP server. Once the configuration file current-confighas been modified, it is downloaded from the TFTP server, at IP address 172.16.36.80, into the persistent memory region nvram: using the name startup-config. It will become active after a reload.

node#copy running-config tftp://172.16.36.80/user/current-config Upload...100%

At this point in time, the offline editing of the configuration file current-configon the TFTP server takes place.

node#copy tftp://172.16.36.80/user/ current-config nvram:startup-config Download...100%

node#reload

Press 'yes' to restart, 'no' to cancel : yes The system is going down

Deleting a specified configuration

This procedure describes how to delete configuration files from the SmartNode flash memory region nvram:.

Mode: Administrator execution

Step	Command	Purpose
1	node#show nvram:	Lists the loaded configurations
2	node#erase name	Deletes the configuration name from the flash memory.

Example: Deleting a specified configuration

The following example shows how to delete a specific configuration from among a set of three available config- urations in Flash memory. The configuration named minimal is to be deleted, since it is no longer used.

1.Use the command show nvram: to list all available configurations.

node#show nvram: Persistent configurations: backup

minimal startup-config factory-config

2.Delete the configuration named minimal explicitly.

node#erase nvram:minimal

3.Enter again the command show nvram: to check if the selected configuration was deleted successfully from the set of available configurations.

node#show nvram: Persistent configurations: backup
