Updating Router Details
Router information can be updated at any time. It is recommended that routers be updated off-line.
That ensures that all settings are correct before you go “live.” NV9000-SE saves all configuration
changes to the database. Once changes are saved, there is no “undo” function; the configuration is
permanently altered. To implement configuration changes, the NV9000 system controller must
write the configuration to the system controller. For more information, see
Implementing Configu-
ration Changes on page 17.
Router information can be updated using either pages or tables. Pages and tables share databases.
Changes made in one interface appear in other interfaces that share that database. For example, if
the name of a router is updated in the ‘Router Details’ page, the name is automatically updated in
the ‘Routers’ table.
Although both a page and table may update the same information, each interface enables you to
perform specific tasks more efficiently. Pages enable you to update several pieces of information
for a single router through a single interface. Tables are useful for updating a limited, specific
amount of information for several routers at once. In addition, not all tables update the same infor-
mation; different tables manage different, specific router information.
Different NV9000-SE interfaces perform specific tasks, as follows:
