Prevent conguration changes
You can prevent conguration 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 conguration changes on other sessions. When you enter the lock 
command on a CLI session, users cannot make conguration changes across any other active CLI sessions. When you close the CLI session 
on which you entered the lock command, conguration changes are automatically allowed on all other sessions.
Lock conguration changes
OS10# lock 
Unlock conguration changes
OS10# unlock 
Change to transaction-based conguration
To change to transaction-based conguration mode for a session, enter the start transaction command
1 Change to transaction-based conguration in EXEC mode.
start transaction
2 Enable, for example, an interface from INTERFACE mode.
interface ethernet 1/1/1/
no shutdown
3 Save the conguration.
do commit
NOTE
: After you enter the do commit command, the current session switches back to the default behavior of committing 
all conguration changes automatically.
Save conguration 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 conguration 
The running conguration contains the current OS10 system conguration and consists of a series of OS10 commands. Copy the running 
conguration to a remote server or local directory as a backup or for viewing and editing. The running conguration is copied as a text le, 
which you can view and edit with a text editor. To copy the running conguration to the startup conguration le, enter the copy 
running-configuration startup-configuration command.
Copy running conguration 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 
Copy le to running conguration
