CHAPTER 8 CLI Operations
8.1.5 Configuration definition command operations
This section describes operation in configuration definition mode and in global edit
mode.
Configuration definition mode
This mode is used to change a definition currently in use.
Device behavior is modified according to the entered configuration definition
command. When a valid command has been entered, its definition is immediately
reflected in device behavior. However, the exec-timeout command is effective only in
the behavior of terminals logged in afterwards.
Device behavior is modified without restarting the device when a configuration
definition command is entered in configuration definition mode. Conversely, device
behavior is not modified while the device is operating unless a configuration
definition command is entered in configuration definition mode.
Global edit
This mode is used exclusively for editing the configuration definition file.
Even if a configuration definition command is entered, the current behavior of the
device is not modified.
A new configuration definition or another configuration definition can be edited.
