Section 4: Saving Configuration Changes
The DWL-x600AP maintains three different configurations:
• Factory Default Configuration — This configuration consists of the default settings shipped with the access
point.
– You can always return the AP to the factory defaults by using the
factory-reset command.
• Startup Configuration — The startup configuration contains the settings with which the AP will use the
next time it starts up (for example, upon reboot).
– To save configuration updates made from the CLI to the startup configuration, you must execute the
save-running or set config startup running command from the CLI after making changes.
• Running Configuration — The running configuration contains the settings with which the AP is currently
running.
– When you view or update configuration settings through the CLI using
get, set, add, and remove
commands, you are viewing and changing values on the running configuration only. If you do not save
the configuration (by executing the
save-running or set config startup running command at
the CLI), you will lose any changes you submitted via the CLI upon reboot.
–The
save-running command saves the running configuration as the startup configuration. (The
save-running command is a shortcut command for set config startup running, which
accomplishes the same thing.)
– Settings updated from the CLI (using the
get, set, add, and remove commands) are not saved to the
startup configuration unless you explicitly save them via the
save-running command. This gives you
the option of maintaining the startup configuration and trying out values on the running configuration
that you can discard (by not saving).
– By contrast, configuration changes updated from the Web UI are automatically saved to both the
running and startup configurations. If you make changes from the Web UI that you do not want to
keep, your only option is to reset to factory defaults. The previous startup configuration will be lost.
