NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual There is no special significance to the primary and secondary configurations. They are just conveniences to specify the files primary.cfg and secondary.cfg. When you configure the switch to use a previously saved configuration, the switch displays the following message: The selected configuration will take effect after the next switch reboot. You can create a new configuration file by saving your current switch configurations and using that file on the next reboot. For example, to create a new configuration named test1 based on your current CLI session and switch configurations, use the following command: save configuration test1 Tracking and Displaying Switch Configuration Files To keep track of your configuration file names, use the ls command to display the files saved on your switch. Files with the .cfg extension are configuration files. In addition, you can see a list of available configuration files when you use the use configuration command. The following is sample output from this command ("test" and "XOS1" are the names of the user-created and defined configurations): exsh.1 # use configuration primary Primary configuration file secondary Secondary configuration file Configuration file name "test" "XOS1" You can also use the ls command to display a list of the current configuration and policy files in the system. Displaying the Active Configuration To view the currently active, running configuration, use the show switch command. Local Filename Character Restrictions This section provides information about the characters supported by the switch for local filenames. When specifying a local filename, the switch permits only the following characters: • Alphabetical letters, upper case and lower case (A-Z, a-z) • Numerals (0-9) • Period ( . ) • Dash ( - ) • Underscore ( _ ) When naming a local file, remember the requirements listed above. 1342 | Appendix A.
