Release Notes

Saving Configuration Changes
Each Dell controller contains two different types of configuration images.
l The running-config holds the current controller configuration, including all pending changes which have yet
to be saved. To view the running-config, use the following command:
(host) # show running-config
l The startup config holds the configuration which will be used the next time the controller is rebooted. It
contains all the options last saved using the write memory command. To view the startup-config, use the
following command:
(host) # show startup-config
When you make configuration changes via the CLI, those changes affect the current running configuration
only. If the changes are not saved, they will be lost after the controller reboots. To save your configuration
changes so they are retained in the startup configuration after the controller reboots, use the following
command in enable mode:
(host) # write memory

Saved Configuration
Both the startup and running configurations can also be saved to a file or sent to a TFTP server for backup or
transfer to another system.
Commands That Reset the Controller or AP
If you use the CLI to modify a currently provisioned and running radio profile, those changes take place
immediately; you do not reboot the controller or the AP for the changes to affect the current running
configuration. Certain commands, however, automatically force the controller or AP to reboot. You may want
to consider current network loads and conditions before issuing these commands, as they may cause a
momentary disruption in service as the unit resets. Note also that changing the lms-ip parameter in an AP
system profile associated with an AP group will cause all APs in that AP group to reboot.
