Nortel WLAN—Security Switch 2300 Series Configuration Guide
To save the running configuration to the file loaded the last time the software was rebooted, type the following
command:
WSS# save config
success: configuration saved.
To save the running configuration to a file named newconfig, type the following command:
WSS# save config newconfig
success: configuration saved to newconfig.
Specifying the configuration file to use after the next reboot
By default, the WSS loads the configuration file named configuration from nonvolatile storage following a software
reboot. To use a different configuration file in nonvolatile storage after rebooting, use the following command:
set boot configuration-file filename
To configure a WSS to load the configuration file floor2mx from nonvolatile storage following the next software reboot,
type the following command:
WSS# set boot configuration-file floor2mx
success: boot config set.
Loading a configuration file
To load configuration commands from a file into the WSS switch’s running configuration, use the following command:
load config [url]
The default URL is the name of the configuration file loaded after the last reboot.
To load a configuration file named newconfig, type the following command:
WSS# load config newconfig
Reloading configuration may result in lost of connectivity, do you wish to continue? (y/n) [n]y
success: Configuration reloaded
After you type y, WSS Software replaces the running configuration with the configuration in the newconfig file. If you
type n, WSS Software does not load the newconfig file and the running configuration remains unchanged.
Caution! This command completely removes the running configuration and replaces it
with the configuration contained in the file. Nortel recommends that you save a copy of the
current running configuration to a backup configuration file before loading a new
configuration.
