Executing a Configuration

You can execute the S- K- or 7100-Series device configuration by doing one of the following:

• Execute the configuration restore-point. Any changes that you made to the configuration after you created the configuration restore-point will be overwritten. See Executing the Configuration Restore-Point.
• Execute a configuration file that was created on, or downloaded to, the S- K- or 7100-Series device.
  

  Executing the Configuration Restore-Point

  Step	Task	Command(s)
  1	View the index of the configuration restore-point.	show config restore-point
  2	Indicate that the restore-point will be applied when the device reboots. When the device reboots, any configuration changes made after the restore-point was set will be lost.	configure restore-point index
  3	Reboot the device.	reset
  4	(Optional) Append the current configuration with the configuration in a previously downloaded or created configuration file. If you do not specify append, the current running configuration will be replaced with the contents of the configuration file, which will require an automated reset of the chassis.	configure filename [append] [chassis-id chassis-id]

To execute the configuration in a configuration file stored on the S- K- or 7100-Series device, use the configure command:

configure filename [append] [chassis-id chassis-id]

filename must include the slotN/ file path.

The append option executes the configuration as an appendage to the current configuration. This is equivalent to typing the contents of the config file directly into the CLI and can be used, for example, to make incremental adjustments to the current configuration.

The chassis-id option is used when replacing a chassis in a VSB system. A replacement chassis will have a serial-number that no longer agrees with the serial-number associated with the configuration file chassis ID entry. Specifying the chassis-id option will tell the system to replace chassis specific information in the configuration file with settings of the chassis being configured.
