Applying the configuration changes

Using the nosave command

The

nosave

command prevents the configuration changes from being saved persistently. This

option allows you to make and view changes without overwriting the saved configuration.

thConfig command restriction

The Fabric and Security classes are not supported in Access Gateway mode.

EE (End-to-end

Default or

Custom

Default or

Custom

It is recommended that you leave the

entire Performance Monitor Class and

End-to-End Performance Monitor

Class area settings in their default

state (no alerts).

To change the default, provide an integer value.

Valid custom action setting values include snmp, raslog, portlog, email, or none.
