Updating the SRC Configuration

You can update the SRC configuration to include configuration changes from a file or to revert to the configuration supplied with the SRC product. You can also retain the active configuration and discard changes not yet committed. After you load one of these configurations, you can commit it to activate the configuration on the C-series Controller, or you can edit the configuration interactively using the CLI and commit it at a later time.

Before You Load a Configuration

Before you load a configuration, make a copy of the current configuration. This configuration contains the active configuration plus any configuration changes that have been made at the CLI. For information about the syntax in the files, see:

You can save the configuration to text or XML format. By default, the configuration is saved to a file in XML format.

To make a backup copy of the configuration:

Commands to Load a Configuration

You can use the following commands in configuration mode to make configuration changes:

The relative option for the load merge, load replace, and load set commands lets you load the configuration at a specified hierarchy level.

The load merge, load override, and load replace commands let you update configuration statements in the SRC configuration from a text file or an XML file. The structure of this file must conform to the structure for an SRC configuration file. For this reason, we recommend that you copy the file based on the file format you plan to use:

For a merge or replace operation, you can save a copy of the configuration at any level in the configuration hierarchy, then load the updated configuration at the same level.

Use the editor of your choice to modify a saved configuration file. When you edit a file that is to be loaded into the SRC configuration, you can add specified attributes to specify actions to be taken.

Attributes in SRC Configuration Files

You can add the following attributes to text files or to XML tags in a configuration file to be loaded through the load merge, load override, and load replace commands. If you do not add any attributes, the software merges all changes.

If you try to create a configuration object that already exists, the software does not create the new objects and generates an error message to that effect.

If the replace attribute is in the file whose contents are merged, the command disregards the replace attribute.
