Prevent conguration changes

You can prevent conguration changes on sessions other than the current CLI session using the lock command. Use the lock and

unlock commands in EXEC mode to respectively prevent and allow conguration changes on other sessions. When you enter the lock

command on a CLI session, users cannot make conguration changes across any other active CLI sessions. When you close the CLI session

on which you entered the lock command, conguration changes are automatically allowed on all other sessions.

Lock conguration changes

OS10# lock

Unlock conguration changes

OS10# unlock

Change to transaction-based conguration

To change to transaction-based conguration mode for a session, enter the start transaction command

1 Change to transaction-based conguration in EXEC mode.

start transaction

2 Enable, for example, an interface from INTERFACE mode.

interface ethernet 1/1/1/

no shutdown

3 Save the conguration.

do commit

NOTE

: After you enter the do commit command, the current session switches back to the default behavior of committing

all conguration changes automatically.

Save conguration changes manually

OS10# start transaction

OS10# configure terminal

OS10(config)#

OS10(config)# interface ethernet 1/1/1

OS10(config-if-eth1/1/1)# no shutdown

OS10(config-if-eth1/1/1)# do commit

Copy running conguration

The running conguration contains the current OS10 system conguration and consists of a series of OS10 commands. Copy the running

conguration to a remote server or local directory as a backup or for viewing and editing. The running conguration is copied as a text le,

which you can view and edit with a text editor. To copy the running conguration to the startup conguration le, enter the copy

running-configuration startup-configuration command.

Copy running conguration to local directory or remote server

OS10# copy running-configuration {config://filepath | home://filepath |

ftp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath | scp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath |

sftp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath | tftp://hostip/filepath}

OS10# copy running-configuration scp://root:calvin@10.11.63.120/tmp/qaz.txt
