Activating Configuration Changes and Saving the Configuration File
Activating the Configuration Commands in the Scratchpad
The configuration commands you have entered using procedures in this chapter are in the
Scratchpad but have not yet been activated. Use the following procedure to activate the
configuration commands in the scratchpad:
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Ensure that you are in Configure mode by entering the configure command in the CLI.
3.
Enter the save active command.
If you exit Configure mode (by entering the exit command or pressing Ctrl+Z) before activating
any of your changes in the scratchpad, the CLI will ask you whether you want to make the
changes in the scratchpad active by displaying the following message:
4.
Enter yes or y to activate the changes.
Saving the Active Configuration to the Startup Configuration File
After you save the configuration commands in the scratchpad, the XP-2000 executes the commands
and makes the corresponding configuration changes. However, if you power down or reboot the
XP-2000, the new changes are lost. Use the following procedure to save the changes into the
Startup configuration file so that the XP-2000 reinstates the changes when you reboot the firmware.
1.
Ensure that you are in Enable mode by entering the enable command in the CLI.
2.
Enter the copy active to startup command to copy the configuration changes in the Active
configuration to the Startup configuration.
The CLI displays the following message:
3.
Enter yes or y to save the changes.
Note:
You also can save active changes to the Startup configuration file from within Configure
mode by entering the save startup command.
The new configuration changes are added to the Startup configuration file stored in the XP-2000’s
boot flash.
