This command has no arguments or keywords.

Defaults

This command has no default settings.

Command Types

Switch command.

Command Modes

Privileged.

Examples

This example shows how to clear VTP statistics:

commit

To commit all ACEs or a specific ACE in NVRAM that has not been written to hardware, use the commit command.

commit qos acl {acl_name | all | adjacency}

commit security acl {acl_name | all | adjacency}

Syntax Description

qos acl	Specifies QoS ACEs.
acl_name	Name that identifies the VACL whose ACEs are to be committed.
all	Commits ACEs for all the ACLs.
adjacency	Commits adjacency table entries.
security acl	Specifies security ACEs.

Defaults

This command has no default settings.

Command Types

Switch command.

Command Modes

Usage Guidelines

The commit command commits all ACEs in NVRAM that have not been written to hardware. Any committed ACL with no ACEs is deleted. We recommend that you enter ACEs in batches and enter the commit command to save all of them in hardware and NVRAM.

Examples

This example shows how to commit a specific QoS ACE to NVRAM:

Console> (enable) commit qos acl my_acl

Hardware programming in progress...

ACL my_acl is committed to hardware.

Console> (enable)

confreg

To configure the configuration register utility, use the confreg command.

confreg [num]

Syntax Description

num	(Optional) Valid values are 0 = ROM monitor, 1 = boot helper image, and 2 to 15 = boot system.

Defaults

This command has no default settings.

Command Types

ROM monitor command.

Command Modes

Normal.

Usage Guidelines

Executed with the confreg argument num, the VCR changes to match the number specified.

Without the argument, confreg dumps the contents of the VCR in English and allows you to alter the contents.

You are prompted to change or keep the information held in each bit of the VCR. In either case, the new VCR value is written into NVRAM and does not take effect until you reset or power cycle the platform.

You must issue a sync command to save your change. Otherwise, the change is not saved and a reset removes your change.

Examples

This example shows how to use the confreg command:

rommon 7 > confreg

copy

To upload or download a Flash image or a switch configuration to or from a Flash device, rcp server, or TFTP server, use the copy command.

copy file-id {tftp | rcp | flash | file-id | config}

copy tftp {flash | file-id | config}

copy rcp {flash | file-id | config}

copy flash {tftp | rcp | file-id | config}

copy config {flash | file-id | tftp | rcp} [all]

copy acl config {flash | file-id | tftp | rcp}

copy cfg1 {tftp | rcp | flash | config | cfg2} [all]

copy cfg2 {tftp | rcp | flash | config | cfg1} [all]

Syntax Description

file-id	Format used to specify the file on the Flash device, where the format is m/device:filename. m/ = Option that gives access to different modules, such as the standby supervisor engine or an Ethernet module. device: = Device where the Flash resides. filename = Name of the configuration file.
tftp	Allows you to copy to or from a TFTP server.
rcp	Specifies the file be copied to or from an rcp server.
flash	Supports downloading of multiple modules.
config	Allows you to copy the configuration to Flash memory, another Flash device, or a file on a TFTP server.
acl config	Copies the ACL configuration manually to a file. See the "Usage Guidelines" section before using this command.
cfg1	Specifies the first startup configuration file on the supervisor engine.
cfg2	Specifies the second startup configuration file on the supervisor engine.
all	(Optional) Specifies that the entire configuration be copied to the specified destination configuration file.

Defaults

If a source or destination device is not given, the one specified by the cd command is used. If a destination filename is omitted, the source filename is used.

Command Types

Switch command.

Command Modes

Privileged.

Usage Guidelines

Use the copy command to perform these tasks:

•Download a system image or configuration file from a TFTP or rcp server to a Flash device.

•Upload a system image or configuration file from a Flash device to a TFTP or rcp server.

•Configure the switch using a configuration file on a Flash device or on a TFTP or rcp server.

•Copy the current configuration to a Flash device or to a TFTP or rcp server.

•Manually copy the ACL configuration to a file.

---

Caution Manual copying can only be used if acl config is set to flash and you enable the auto-config append option. If you disable the append option, the configuration clears before executing the auto-config file; see the set boot config-register auto-config command.

---

If you do not specify the source or destination device, the command uses the ones specified by the cd command. If you omit the destination filename, the source filename is used.

The copy config, copy cfg1, and copy cfg2 commands copy only nondefault commands to the destination configuration file. Use the keyword all to copy both default and nondefault configurations.

If you do not specify a source or destination Flash device, the default Flash device (specified by the cd command) is used. Use the pwd command to display the current default Flash device. If you omit the destination filename, the system uses the source filename.

The system stores image and configuration files in the sysname.cfg file when you define a system name using the set system name command; otherwise, it uses the default myswitch.cfg file.

A colon (:) is required after the specified device.

If you use the flash keyword as the copy source or destination, you are prompted for the Flash device name.

If you are copying a software image to multiple intelligent switching modules of the same type, use the flash keyword as the copy destination. The switch automatically determines which modules to copy the image to based on the header in the source image file. If you want to copy a software image to a single intelligent switching module in a switch with multiple modules of the same type, you must specify the destination file-id as m/bootflash: (do not specify a filename).
