Chapter 1: Starting a Command Line Management Session

And, finally, filename.cfg is the filename for the new master configuration
file. The name can be up to 15 alphanumeric characters, not including the
extension. Spaces are allowed, but a name with spaces must be enclosed
in double quotes.

This example of the command creates the new master configuration file
“mcf_chassis0.cfg” on a management module in a chassis with an ID
number of 0:

config save filesystem=system://0/m/mcf_chassis0.cfg

For further information on this command, refer to “CONFIG SAVE
FILESYSTEM” on page 158.

Now that you have created the master configuration file, you are 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 160.

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.
