Loading and Saving a Configuration
All device settings are configured via commands.
A particular device state corresponds to a certain set of commands that is called a
configuration. Configurations can be loaded and saved device internally but can also be
stored on external servers for backup or installation of further devices with an identical
configuration and can be loaded from there to the respective device.
The configuration that runs on a device is called running-config. All configuration command
input is saved as running-config.
ADVICE
Configuration commands that reset parameters to default values in the current operation
are not stored as command as the default values get loaded first at reboot and then the
configuration commands are executed that set the values to special settings.
The persistent configuration memory, the startup-config, allows a device to restore a
configuration after a restart. The stored configuration commands are executed during start-
up and create the initial running-config.
In addition to the device internal startup-config an optional external hot-pluggable storage in
the shape of a configuration stick is available. It can be plugged permanently into the device
or be connected if required and can be used for the following tasks:
– Quick exchange of a device in case of a failure without new configuration
– Appling a standard configuration
– Backup of a device configuration on portable hardware.
An EDS500 device detects the configuration stick automatically during operation. If the
configuration stick is plugged into the device at power on then the configuration is loaded
from the stick and copied to the internal configuration memory. A previously saved startup-
config gets overwritten.
