Accessing the switch 25


For example:

>> # scp ad4.cfg [email protected]:putcfg

Applying and saving configuration

Enter the apply and save commands after the command above (scp ad4.cfg 205.178.15.157:putcfg), or use the
following commands. You will be prompted for a password.

>> # scp <local_filename> <user>@<switch IP addr>:putcfg_apply

>> # scp <local_filename> <user>@<switch IP addr>:putcfg_apply_save

For example:

>> # scp ad4.cfg [email protected]:putcfg_apply

>> # scp ad4.cfg [email protected]:putcfg_apply_save

Note the following:

• The

diff command is automatically executed at the end of putcfg to notify the remote client of the difference

between the new and the current configurations.

putcfg_apply runs the apply command after the putcfg is done.

putcfg_apply_save saves the new configuration to the flash after putcfg_apply is done.

The putcfg_apply and putcfg_apply_save commands are provided because extra apply and save commands
are usually required after a putcfg.
