• Ensures that dependent or related configuration changes are all cut in at the same time.
In all cases, if you want to make the changes permanent, you need to save the changes to flash
using the write memory command. When you save the configuration changes to flash, this will
become the configuration that is initiated and run at system boot.
NOTE
Most configuration changes are dynamic and thus do not require a software reload. If a command
requires a software reload to take effect, the documentation states this.
Modifying startup and running configuration file manually
When you manually modify a startup-config or running-config file, ensure that you do not delete the
! (exclamation mark) from any of the lines in the configuration file.
NOTE
For configuration files which are copied to device running, or startup config via TFTP/SCP, entering
a blank comment line or ! (exclamation mark denotes a comment line) followed only by blank
spaces, in any of the global config sublevels, resets the mode to global config level.
