changes are NOT dynamic. The changes are saved in a temporary copy of configuration data, and
will not affect the current run-time operation of the system in any way.
To terminate the session, return to the main CFGEDIT menu. Select the save changes option. Then
press <RET> to exit.
Note: This “save” process also includes all unsaved Manage Mode changes which were made
prior to the CFGEDIT session, if any.
At your earliest possible convenience, reboot the system. This will then activate the new
configuration data. It is also wise to make a copy of the new configuration files, as described earlier.

In addition to CFGEDIT, you may use the Dynamic Management feature to make certain changes
to configuration. The Manage Mode consists of a series of console commands that enable you to
display current system parameters, change many parameters dynamically, and write changes to
disk files so that they remain permanent.
To access Dynamic Management commands, enter the Manage Mode by typing the following
command at the system prompt:
> manage
Once Manage Mode is active, the prompt changes from “>“to “MANAGE>“. While operating in
this mode, only Dynamic Management commands are available. All other system commands are
ignored until you exit Manage Mode and return to the normal system command mode. To return
to the system command mode, issue the following command:
MANAGE> exit
Available Manage Mode commands are dispersed throughout the configuration chapters. Refer to
the
Manage Mode Command Table for a complete listing of Manage Mode commands.
C ONFIGURATION B ACKUP AND R ESTORE
After making configuration changes, back up the new configuration, either to diskette or network
management station. To accomplish this, use TFTP to copy the configuration data (\system\*.nei)
from one machine to another. For more information on TFTP, refer to the
Remote Management
chapter.
To restore a configuration, use TFTP to transfer the configuration files back to the system. Then
restart the system for the new configuration to take effect.

If diskettes are included with your system, the labels affixed to the System Diskettes specify
customized information for that copy of the system software, which may include: Version, Serial
Number, Variant, Release and Options. Once this software is installed on the system, it is possible
to obtain this information from the Administration Console when the system is running by issuing
the
ver command at the system prompt. The customized information for the system software will
then be displayed.
