Saving Configuration Changes Chapter 3 Using the Command-Line Interface Step 4 Enter the switch password. The User EXEC prompt appears on the management station. Note Copies of the CMS pages that you display are saved in your browser memory cache until you exit the browser session. A password is not required to redisplay these pages, including the Cisco Systems Access page. You can access the CLI by clicking Web Console - HTML access to the command line interface from a cached copy of the Cisco Systems Access page. To prevent unauthorized access to CMS and the CLI, exit your browser to end the browser session. Saving Configuration Changes The show command always displays the running configuration of the switch. When you make a configuration change to a switch or switch cluster, the change becomes part of the running configuration. The change does not automatically become part of the config.text file in Flash memory, which is the startup configuration used each time the switch restarts. If you do not save your changes to Flash memory, they are lost when the switch restarts. To save all configuration changes to Flash memory, you must enter the write memory command in privileged EXEC mode. Note The write memory privileged EXEC command does not apply to the Catalyst 1900 and Catalyst 2820 switches, which automatically save configuration changes to Flash memory as they occur. Tip As you make cluster configuration changes, make sure that you periodically save the configuration. The configuration is saved on the command and member switches. Where to Go Next The rest of this guide provides descriptions of the software features and general switch administration. Table 4-2 on page 4-7 lists the defaults for all key features and gives the page numbers in this guide where the feature is described and CLI procedures are provided. Refer to the Catalyst 2950 Desktop Switch Command Reference for complete descriptions of the switch commands.
