3.5 Configuration Manipulations
3.5.1 Printing and Saving Your Configuration
You can easily review your current device's configuration by executing "config
show" command. The output of the command is sorted by the configuration
sections (e.g. "System parameters", "Interfaces configuration" etc).
You can review some particular parts of the configuration specifying the part of
the configuration you want to see.
Example:
This command will print the interfaces configuration.
In order to save your configuration "config save" command is used. It saves the
current system configuration in the device's flash memory for subsequent
permanent use. All modifications to the system parameters, if not saved by this
command, are valid only during the current session (until the system reset
occurs).
3.5.2 Import/Export
Export/import of the device's configuration is performed using "config export" and
"config import" commands correspondingly. "Config export" saves the device
configuration on a remote server and "config import" reloads it from a remote
server. The information is transferred using FTP.
Example:
"Config import" command writes the uploaded file directly into the Flash memory
without changing the active configuration in RAM. In order to make a new
configuration active, right after "config import" command implementation
finishes the device should be rebooted. If "config save" command is run before
rebooting, Flash memory is overwritten by the copy of the active configuration.
This action will erase the uploaded configuration file.
3.5.3 IP Address Formats
Many commands of the operating system require specification of IP addresses.
