| 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 | |
| SANbox2 | |
| SANbox2 | |
| SANbox2 | |
| 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 | |
| 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. |
