Re: storing partial-configs in flash

Thanks this actually worked. I hadn't created an archive but I ran the
configure replace command using the partial config files I created and it
rebuilt the default options that I couldn't access. Cool feature, kind of
sucks that they made it optional though. I bet there are alot of other
engineers that either don't know it exists or can convince management to
let them turn it on. I wonder if they got it from relational db as they
say or just stole it from juniper. EIther way thanks alot. I shall now
resume lab'ing.

Hello and good afternoon,

I have used the config replace option many times ... I like this. The
first
time I used it I erased my flash ;-)

Learning and growth pains ... lol.

I have not found a way to edit these files, I have always had to delete
the
older config file and create a new one.

Here is the config link for config replace:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/fundamentals/configuration/guide/cf_config-rollback_ps6441_TSD_Products_Configuration_Guide_Chapter.html

In the config replace section (just a little bit down the page) it
discusses
the replacement of commands and the quirky behavior this command brings.

HTH,

Andrew Lissitz
