Verifying and Saving Your Configuration


Verifying and Saving Your Configuration
 
 
This chapter describes how to save the system configuration.
 
Verifying the Configuration
You can use a number of command to verify the configuration of your feature, service, or system. Many are hierarchical in their implementation and some are specific to portions of or specific lines in the configuration file.
 
Feature Configuration
In many configurations, specific features are set and need to be verified. Examples include APN and IP address pool configuration. Using these examples, enter the following commands to verify proper feature configuration:
show apn all
The output displays the complete configuration for the APN. In this example, an APN called apn1 is configured.
access point name (APN): apn1
authentication context: test
pdp type: ipv4
Selection Mode: subscribed
ip source violation: Checked drop limit: 10
accounting mode: gtpp No early PDUs: Disabled
max-primary-pdp-contexts: 1000000 total-pdp-contexts: 1000000
primary contexts: not available total contexts: not available
local ip: 0.0.0.0
primary dns: 0.0.0.0 secondary dns: 0.0.0.0
ppp keep alive period : 0 ppp mtu : 1500
absolute timeout : 0 idle timeout : 0
long duration timeout: 0 long duration action: Detection
ip header compression: vj
data compression: stac mppc deflate compression mode: normal
min compression size: 128
ip output access-group: ip input access-group:
ppp authentication:
allow noauthentication: Enabled imsi
authentication:Disabled
Enter the following command to display the IP address pool configuration:
show ip pool
The output from this command should look similar to the sample shown below. In this example, all IP pools were configured in the isp1 context.
context : isp1:
+-----Type: (P) - Public (R) - Private
| (S) - Static (E) - Resource
|
|+----State: (G) - Good (D) - Pending Delete (R)-Resizing
||
||++--Priority: 0..10 (Highest (0) .. Lowest (10))
||||
||||+-Busyout: (B) - Busyout configured
|||| |||||| vvvvv Pool Name Start Address Mask/End Address Used Avail
----- --------- --------------- --------------- -------- --------
PG00 ipsec 12.12.12.0 255.255.255.0 0 254 PG00
pool1 10.10.0.0 255.255.0.0 0 65534 SG00
vpnpool 192.168.1.250 192.168.1.254 0 5 Total Pool Count: 5
Important: Many features can be configured on the system. There are show commands specifically for these features. Refer to the Command Line Interface Reference for more information.
 
Service Configuration
Verify that your service was created and configured properly by entering the following command:
show <service_type> <service_name>
The output is a concise listing of the service parameter settings similar to the sample displayed below. In this example, a P-GW service called pgw is configured.
Service name : pgw1
Service-Id : 1
Context : test1
Status : STARTED
Restart Counter : 8
EGTP Service : egtp1
LMA Service : Not defined
Session-Delete-Delay Timer : Enabled
Session-Delete-Delay timeout : 10000(msecs)
PLMN ID List : MCC: 100, MNC: 99
Newcall Policy : None
 
Context Configuration
Verify that your context was created and configured properly by entering the following command:
show context name <name>
The output shows the active context. Its ID is similar to the sample displayed below. In this example, a context named test1 is configured.
Context Name     ContextID     State
------------     ---------     -----
test1            2          Active
 
System Configuration
Verify that your entire configuration file was created and configured properly by entering the following command:
show configuration
This command displays the entire configuration including the context and service configurations defined above.
 
Finding Configuration Errors
Identify errors in your configuration file by entering the following command:
show configuration errors
This command displays errors it finds within the configuration. For example, if you have created a service named “service1”, but entered it as “srv1” in another part of the configuration, the system displays this error.
You must refine this command to specify particular sections of the configuration. Add the section keyword and choose a section from the help menu:
show configuration errors section ggsn-service
or
show configuration errors section aaa-config
If the configuration contains no errors, an output similar to the following is displayed:
################################################################################
Displaying Global
AAA-configuration errors ################################################################################
Total 0 error(s) in this section !
 
Saving the Configuration
Save system configuration information to a file locally or to a remote node on the network. You can use this configuration file on any other systems that require the same configuration.
Files saved locally can be stored in the SPC’s/SMC’s CompactFlash or on an installed PCMCIA memory card on the SPC/SMC. Files that are saved to a remote network node can be transmitted using either FTP, or TFTP.
 
Saving the Configuration on the Chassis
These instructions assume that you are at the root prompt for the Exec mode:
[local]host_name#
To save your current configuration, enter the following command:
 
save configuration url [-redundant] [-noconfirm] [showsecrets] [verbose]
Specifies the path and name to which the configuration file is to be stored. url may refer to a local or a remote file. url must be entered using one of the following formats:
tftp://{ ipaddress | host_name [ :port# ] } [ /directory ] /file_name
ftp://[ username [ :pwd ] @ ] { ipaddress | host_name } [ :port# ] [ /directory ] /file_name
sftp://[ username [ :pwd ] @ ] { ipaddress | host_name } [ :port# ] [ /directory ] /file_name
/flash corresponds to the CompactFlash on the SPC/SMC.
/pcmcia1 corresponds to PCMCIA slot 1.
/pcmcia2 corresponds to PCMCIA slot 2.
ipaddress is the IP address of the network server.
host_name is the network server’s hostname.
port# is the network server’s logical port number. Defaults are:
Note: host_name can only be used if the networkconfig parameter is configured for DHCP and the DHCP server returns a valid nameserv er.dx
username is the username required to gain access to the server if necessary.
password is the password for the specified username if required.
/directory specifies the directory where the file is located if one exists.
/file_name specifies the name of the configuration file to be saved.
Important: The -redundant keyword is only applicable when saving a configuration file to local devices.This command does not synchronize the local file system. If you have added, modified, or deleted other files or directories to or from a local device for the active SPC/SMC, then you must synchronize the local file system on both SPCs/SMCs.
 
To save a configuration file called system.cfg to a directory that was previously created called cfgfiles on the SPC’s/SMC’s CompactFlash, enter the following command:
save configuration /flash/cfgfiles/system.cfg
To save a configuration file called simple_ip.cfg to a directory called host_name_configs using an FTP server with an IP address of 192.168.34.156 on which you have an account with a username of administrator and a password of secure, use the following command:
save configuration ftp://administrator:secure@192.168.34.156/host_name_configs/ simple_ip.cfg
To save a configuration file called init_config.cfg to the root directory of a TFTP server with a hostname of config_server, enter the following command:
save configuration tftp://config_server/init_config.cfg
