System configuration files

netc uses startup and running configuration. The running configuration is the configuration that is actually loaded and being used by the netc. The startup configuration is saved in the /etc/netc/startup-config file. netc reads and loads the startup configuration upon a boot or a restart. It is possible to save the running configuration to the disk by issuing copy command e.g.:

netx# copy running-config startup-config 
Configuration saved to /etc/netc/startup-config

It is possible to specified the name of the config file:

netx# copy running-config myconfig1 
Configuration saved to /etc/netc/myconfig1

Other commands that can be used as well are write memory and save. These commands save the output always to the file startup-config. E.g.,

netx# save
Configuration saved to /etc/netc/startup-config

Using the copy command, the configuration can be loaded from the config file to replace the current running configuration.

netx# copy myconfig1 running-config

Display config

The current running configuration can be displayed by typing show running-config command. The ! character is used only for better visibility and separation of different config parts. It is possible to used lines with the ! for comments in the configuration file.

netx# show running-config
system
  hostname netx
!
  name-server 8.8.8.8
!
  ntp server ntp1.netx.as
!
   user admin
     admin crypt <ommited>
!
!
interface ve1
  ipv4 address 100.90.110.11/24
!
ipv4 route 0.0.0.0/0 100.90.110.1
!
!
<snip>

The command show startup-config can be used to display the saved startup configuration.

netx# show startup-config
!
! Config file created by netc at 2018-02-13 21:53:04
!
system
system hostname netx
!
system name-server 8.8.8.8
!
system ntp server ntp1.netx.as
!

Tip

If the configuration shell is switched into a configuration context the show this command displays only the relevant part of the configuration in the appropriate context:

netx# interface bond0.111
netx(if-bond0.111)# show this 
 ipv4 address 100.90.111.5/24
 ipv6 address 2001:db8:111::4/64

Many configuration options can be displayed by using the show command. E.g.:

netx# show interface 
INTERFACE       STATE          RX                    TX
                          b/s      p/s          b/s      p/s
ge1           A 1G-FD     4.2k     8.9          0.0      0.0  
ge2              down     0.0      0.0          0.0      0.0  
tge3           10G-FD     4.2k     8.8          0.0      0.0  
tge4            1G-FD     0.0      0.0          0.0      0.0
