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 AAA configuration, type the following command to maintain these commands in nonvolatile memory: DWS-1008# save config success: configuration saved. You can also specify a filename for the configuration-for example, configday. To do this, type the following command: DWS-1008# 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 switch or saved the configuration. If the switch is rebooted before you have saved the configuration, all changes are lost. You can also type the load config command, which reloads the switch to the last saved configuration or loads a particular configuration filename. Administrative 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. Local Authentication The first time you access a DWS-1008 switch, it requires no authentication. In this scenario, after the initial configuration of the switch, Natasha is connected through the console and has enabled access. To enable local authentication for a console user, you must configure a local username. Natasha types the following commands in this order: DWS-1008# set user natasha password m@Jor User natasha created DWS-1008# set authentication console * local success: change accepted. DWS-1008# save config success: configuration saved. D-Link DWS-1008 User Manual 33
