Configuring Change Management

This chapter describes the Change management configuration commands. It includes the following sections:

"Accessing the Change Management Configuration Environment"
"Change Management Configuration Commands"

Accessing the Change Management Configuration Environment

To enter the change management configuration command environment, use the CONFIG boot command. When the device's software is initially loaded, it is running in the OPCON process, signified by the * prompt. From the * prompt:

Enter talk 6.
At the Config> prompt, type boot.

To return to the CONFIG process, type exit.

Change Management Configuration Commands

This section describes the Change Management Configuration commands. Each command includes a description, syntax requirements, and an example. Table 4 summarizes the Change Management Configuration commands.

After accessing the Change Management Configuration environment, enter the configuration commands at the Boot config> prompt.

If the copy fails you may receive one of the following messages:

Error: Active bank cannot be overwritten or erased.: You attempted to copy a configuration into the bank currently in use by the IBM 2212.
Error: File copy failed.: This condition occurs when the copy operation fails for reasons other than copying to the active configuration. The most common cause is specifying the same source and destination configurations. When you list (see "List") the configurations, CORRUPT appears next to the bank that is damaged.

Describe

Use the describe command to display information about a stored image.

Syntax: describe

Example: Boot config>describe

Disable

Use the disable command to turn off various change management functions.

Syntax:

disable: auto-boot

auto-boot

Disabling auto-boot causes the device boot sequence to stop at the service recovery interface, without running the device operational code. The default auto-boot mode is "enabled".

Example:

Boot config>disable auto-boot
Auto-boot mode is now disabled

Enable

Use the enable command to turn on various change management functions.

Syntax:

enable: auto-boot

auto-boot: Enabling auto-boot causes the device boot to the device operational code without stopping at the service recovery interface. The default auto-boot mode is "enabled"

Erase

Use the erase command to erase a stored image or a configuration file.

Syntax:

erase: configuration [file]
: load [image]

config or load: Erases a configuration file or a load image. Enter the config number to be erased after the erase command.

Example: Boot config>erase load

TFTP

Use the tftp command to initiate TFTP file transfers between the 2212 and remote servers.
Note: When you unzip an image, you will see multiple files ending in ".ld". Use the tftp get load modules command to get multiple load modules.

Syntax:

tftp get: config
: load modules
tftp put: config
: load modules

Note for Dynamic Loading of Software: All of the load modules in the specified directory will be retrieved as part of the load going into the bank.
Example: Boot config>tftp get load modules

Notes:

When putting files to a server:

Make sure that the files on the target server have the appropriate permissions that would allow anyone to write to those files. If not, the put operation will fail.

Timedload

Use the timedload command to schedule a load on a device, cancel a scheduled load, or view scheduled load information.

This command allows you to load the device outside peak network traffic periods when support personnel may not be present.
Note: You may also use the Configuration Program to schedule a reload for a device, which is not affected by reloads or power outages. These circumstances would normally cause the reload to be lost. See the chapter "Using the Configuration Program" in Configuration Program User's Guide for details.

Syntax:

timedload: activate
: deactivate
: view

activate

Schedules a load on the device. You will be prompted for information for a time-activated load similar to the tftp get load and tftp get config commands. See "TFTP" for information about the parameters.

Time of day to load the router

Specifies the date and time to load the device. Specify the value as YYYYMMDDHHMM, where:

YYYY is the four-digit year
Note: If the current month on the device is December, the year data must be the current year or the following year. Otherwise, if the current month on the device is January through November, the year data must be the current year.

MM is the two digit month.

MM Valid Values: 01 to 12 with 01 representing January.

DD is the two-digit day of the month.

DD Valid Values: 01 to 31, depending on the value of MM.

HH is the two-digit hour in 24-hour time.

HH Valid Values: 00 to 23

MM is the two-digit minute of the hour.

MM Valid Values: 00 to 59

The following are examples of scheduling a load from different sources.

Example 1. Load modules and configuration source is a remote host:

Boot config>timedload activate
