3.3.1 Viewing the Detailed Contents of a Config File
The View screen displays the entire contents of a configuration file. Motorola recommends a file be reviewed
carefully from the View screen before it is selected from the Config Files screen for edit or designation as
the switch startup configuration.
1. Select a configuration file from the Configuration screen by highlighting the file.
2. Click the View button to see the contents of the selected configuration file.
Created Displays the date and time each configuration file was created. Use this information as a
baseline for troubleshooting problems by comparing event log data with configuration file
creation data.
Modified Displays the date and time each configuration file was last modified. Compare this column
against the Created column to discern which files were modified and make informed
decisions whether existing files should be further modified or deleted.
NOTE: Selecting either the startup-config or running-config does not enable the Edit
button. A different configuration file must be available to enable the Edit button for the
purposes of replacing the existing startup-config.
NOTE: After setting the switch to revert to factory default settings, the system must be
rebooted before the factory default settings will take effect. When this occurs, the switch
IP address may change.
