Rapier Switch Software Release 2.2.1
C613-02013-00 Rev A
Saving Configuration Entered with the CLI
Subsequent commands entered from the command line or executed from a
script affect only the dynamic configuration in memory, which is not retained
over a power cycle. Changes are not automatically stored in nonvolatile
memory. When the switch is restarted the configuration will be restored to that
defined by the boot script, or if the switch was restarted using the RESTART
command, any script specified in the RESTART command.
To retain any configuration changes made after boot across a restart or power
cycle, save the modified configuration as a script file, using the command:
CREATE CONFIG=filename
The configuration file created by the GUI or the CREATE CONFIG command records
passwords in encrypted form, not in cleartext.
Editor
The switch has a built-in full-screen text editor for editing script files stored on
the switch file subsystem. Scripts can be run manually, or run when a trigger
automatically activates on some specified events in the switch. See “Triggers”
on page 58, and the Trigger Facility chapter in the Rapier Switch Software
Reference. To access the editor, use the command:
EDIT [filename]
The file name is optional as a file can be loaded, or a new file can be created
from within the editor itself (Figure 5 on page 20).
Figure 5: The editor screen layout.
The editor uses VT100 command sequences and should only be used with a
VT100-compatible terminal, terminal emulation program or Telnet client.
To display editor Help at any time while in the editor press [Ctrl/K,H]; that is,
hold down the Ctrl key and press in turn the K key then the H key.
