Saving the configuration
You must save the configuration for all commands that you enter and want to use for future sessions. After you enter the
administrator’s Web-based AAA configuration, type the following command to maintain these commands in WSS
nonvolatile memory:
WSS# save config
success: configuration saved.
You can also specify a filename for the configuration—for example, configday. To do this, type the following command:
WSS# save config configday
Configuration saved to configday.
You must type the save config command to save all configuration changes since the last time you rebooted the WSS or
saved the configuration. If the WSS is rebooted before you have saved the configuration, all changes are lost.
You can also type the load config command, which reloads the WSS to the last saved configuration or loads a particular
configuration filename. (For more information, see “Managing configuration files” (page 659).)
Administrative Web-based AAA configuration scenarios
The following scenarios illustrate typical configurations for administrative and local authentication. For all scenarios,
the administrator is Natasha with the password m@Jor. (For RADIUS server configuration details, see “Configuring
communication with RADIUS” (page 561).)
