Switch Memory and Configuration

Using the CLI To Implement Configuration Changes

If you use the CLI to change a parameter setting, and then execute the boot command without first executing the write memory command to save the change, the switch prompts you to specify whether to save the changes in the current running-config file. For example:

Disables port 1 in the running configuration, which causes port 1 to block all traffic.

SMC

TigerSwitch 10/100(config)#

interface

1 disable

SMC

TigerSwitch 10/100(config)#

boot

 

 

Device will be rebooted, do you

want

to continue [y/n]? y

Press

to continue the rebooting process.

 

You will then see this prompt.

 

 

Do you want to save current configuration [y/n]?

The above prompt means that one or more parameter settings in the running- config file differ from their counterparts in the startup-config file and you need to choose which config file to retain and which to discard.

■If you want to update the startup-config file to match the running-config file, press [Y] for “yes”. (This means that the changes you entered in the running-config file will be saved in the startup-config file.)

■If you want to discard the changes you made to the running-config file so that it will match the startup-config file, then press [N] for “no”. (This means that the switch will discard the changes you entered in the running- config file and will update the running-config file to match the startup- config file.)

N o t e

If you use the CLI to make a change to the running-config file, you must use

 

the write memory command to save the change to the startup-config file. That

 

is, if you use the CLI to change a parameter setting, but then reboot the switch

 

from either the CLI or the menu interface without first executing the write

 

memory command in the CLI, the current startup-config file will replace the

 

running-config file, and any changes in the running-config file will be lost.

 

Also, where a parameter setting is accessable from both the CLI and the menu

 

interface, if you change the setting in the CLI, the new value will appear in the

 

menu interface display for that parameter. However, only the write memory

 

command in the CLI will actually save the change to the startup-config file.

 

Using the Save command in the menu interface will not save a change made

 

to the running config by the CLI.
