Prevent configuration changes You can prevent configuration changes that are made on the switch in sessions other than the current CLI session using the lock command. To prevent and allow configuration changes in other sessions, use the lock and unlock commands in EXEC mode. When you enter the lock command, users in other active CLI sessions cannot make configuration changes. When you close the CLI session in which you entered the lock command, configuration changes are automatically allowed in all other sessions. OS10# lock OS10# unlock Copy running configuration The running configuration contains the current OS10 system configuration and consists of a series of OS10 commands. Copy the running configuration to a remote server or local directory as a backup or for viewing and editing. The running configuration is copied as a text file that you can view and edit with a text editor. Copy running configuration to local directory or remote server OS10# copy running-configuration {config://filepath | home://filepath | ftp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath | scp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath | sftp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath | tftp://hostip/filepath} OS10# copy running-configuration scp://root:[email protected]/tmp/qaz.txt Copy file to running configuration To apply a set of commands to the current running configuration and execute them immediately, copy a text file from a remote server or local directory. The copied commands do not replace the existing commands. If the copy command fails, any commands that were successfully copied before the failure occurred are maintained. OS10# copy {config://filepath | home://filepath | ftp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath | scp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath | sftp://userid:passwd@hostip/filepath | tftp://hostip/filepath | http://userid@hostip/ filepath} running-configuration OS10# copy scp://root:[email protected]/tmp/qaz.txt running-configuration Copy running configuration to startup configuration To display the configured settings in the current OS10 session, use the show running-configuration. To save new configuration settings across system reboots, copy the running configuration to the startup configuration file. OS10# copy running-configuration startup-configuration Restore startup configuration The startup configuration file, startup.xml, is stored in the config system folder. To create a backup version, copy the startup configuration to a remote server or the local config: or home: directories. To restore a backup configuration, copy a local or remote file to the startup configuration and reload the switch. After downloading a backup configuration, enter the reload command, otherwise the configuration does not take effect until you reboot. NOTE: A non-default switch-port profile is not automatically restored. If the downloaded startup configuration you want to restore contains a non-default switch-port profile, you must manually configure and save the profile on the switch, and then reload the switch for the profile settings to take effect. If the backup startup file contains the default switchport profile, you can simply copy the startup configuration file from the server and reload the switch. 66 CLI Basics
