Now that you have created the master configuration file, you’re ready to
perform the second step and designate it as the module’s active master
configuration file. This directs the management module to the appropriate
master configuration file when saving your changes. (In some cases, the
management module might have more than one master configuration file,
such as a history of past configuration files. But only one of the files can be
active at a time.) The command for designating the active master
configuration file is the CONFIG SET command. Here is the format:
config set filesystem=system:// chassis / slot / filename .cfg
The definitions of the variables in this command are the same as in the
CONFIG SAVE FILESYSTEM command. Here is an example of the
command that designates the “mcf_chassis1.cfg” file created in the
previous command as the management module’s active configuration file:
config set filesystem=system://0/m/mcf_chassis1.cfg
Configuration filenames in both the CONFIG SAVE FILESYSTEM and
CONFIG SET commands are case sensitive. For more information on this
command, refer to “CONFIG SET” on page 164.
This completes the procedure for creating and designating a new active
master configuration file on the management module. The management
module can now save your parameter changes when you issue the
CONFIG SAVE command.
Assigning an IP
Address
Configuration
Will you be remotely managing the chassis with a Telnet or Secure Shell
(SSH) client? Or, will the management module be performing any of the
following management tasks?
ˆ Uploading or downloading files to its file system from a TFTP server.
ˆ Setting the date and time from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server
ˆ Sending events to a syslog server
ˆ Sending or receiving TCP/IP ping requests from another network
device
ˆ Managing the device with SNMP
If so, then you have to assign the management module an IP address, a
subnet mask, and possibly a default gateway address, referred to
collectively as a module’s IP address configuration.
An IP address configuration can be assigned manually or by a DHCP or
BOOTP server. The command to manually assign an IP configuration to
the management module is:
ip set ip-address= ipaddress subnetmask= mask
default-gateway= ipaddress
