[. . . ] The Saving Your Changes Once you have configured this basic switch information, save your changes by entering write memory at the CLI command prompt. When the write memory command is entered, changes are automatically saved to the main configuration file (boot. cfg) and placed in the /flash/working directory. If the switch reboots following a write memory command entry, the switch will run from the /flash/certified directory. As a result, subsequent configuration changes cannot be saved using the write memory command until the switch is once again running from the /flash/working directory. See page 51 for important information on these directories. boot prompt displays: Boot > 2 To change the baud rate, enter boot serialbaudrate, followed by the desired baud rate value. Options include 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 (default), 19200, 38400, 57600, 76800, and 115200.

Configuring the switch using the CLI is also referred to as "online configuration. " The following section provides basic information on CLI assistance features. For detailed information on the CLI, including syntax conventions, usage rules, command documentation, and a quick reference card, refer to the OmniSwitch CLI Reference Guide and the "Using the CLI" chapter in the OmniSwitch 6600 Family Switch Management Guide. The software supports vt100 terminal emulation; CLI assistance features may be limited if your terminal emulation software is using a setting other than vt100. Syntax Checking If you make a mistake while entering command syntax, the CLI provides clues about how to correct the error. Whenever a command error is entered, two indicators are displayed: · An Error message describing the type of error. · A carat (^) character indicating where the error occurred. For example, the syntax -> show vlan router port mac status CLI Assistance Features The CLI provides built-in features that assist you while entering commands. These features include: · Syntax checking · Command line help · Partial keyword completion · Deleting and inserting characters · Previous command recall · Prefix recognition · Prefix prompt · Command history March 2005 results in the following error: -> show vlan router port mac status ^ ERROR: Invalid entry: "port" Because port is not valid syntax for the command, the error message shows it as an invalid entry and the carat indicates where the problem has occurred. For this example, the valid command syntax is -> show vlan router mac status CLI Basics 41 Command Line (?) Help The CLI provides additional help in the form of the question mark (?) character.
