B – Command Line Interface

 

 

 

Working with Switch Configurations

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Show Switch command displays the name of the active configuration. A

 

configuration name can have up to 31 characters excluding the pound symbol (#),

 

semicolon (;), and comma (,). By editing the latest configuration and saving the

 

results under a new name, you can create a history of configuration changes. Use

 

the Config List command to display the names of the configurations stored on the

 

switch

 

SANbox2 #> config list

 

Current list of configurations

 

------------------------------

 

 

default

 

config_10132003

 

To modify a switch configuration you must open an Admin session with the Admin

 

Start command. An Admin session prevents other accounts from making changes

 

at the same time either through Telnet or SANsurfer Switch Manager. You must

 

also open a Config Edit session with the Config Edit command and indicate which

 

configuration you want to modify. If you do not specify a configuration name the

 

active configuration is assumed. The Config Edit session provides access to the

 

Set Config commands with which you make modifications to the port, switch, port

 

threshold alarm, or zoning configuration components as shown:

 

SANbox2 #> admin start

 

SANbox2 (admin) #> config edit default

 

The config named default is being edited.

 

SANbox2 (admin-config)#> set config port . . .

 

SANbox2 (admin-config)#> set config switch . . .

 

SANbox2 (admin-config)#> set config threshold . . .

 

SANbox2 (admin-config)#> set config zoning . . .

 

The Config Save command saves the changes you made during the Config Edit

 

session. In this case, changes to the configuration named Default are being saved

 

to a new configuration named config_10132003. However, the new configuration

 

does not take effect until you activate it with the Config Activate command as

 

shown:

 

SANbox2 (admin-config)#> config save config_10132003

 

SANbox2 (admin)#> config activate config_10132003

 

SANbox2 (admin)#> admin end

 

SANbox2 #>

 

The Admin End command releases the Admin session for other administrators

 

when you are done making changes to the switch.
