Managing Configuration Files Using a Text Editor
Figure 1-31. Using Boot Error Messages to Target a Configuration Problem
The line number given in the error message is the line number in the running-
config. You can use this information to locate and repair any configuration
problems.
You will need to scroll up in your terminal session software window to read
the error message. Make a note of the line, the command, and the resulting
error message, as shown in Figure 1-31. Then return to the command line and
enter the enable mode context.
Enter show running-config to display the current configuration. When the
running-config is displayed, begin with the first exclamation point and count
down, line by line, until you reach the line that generated the error message.
Check the resulting message from the error report. Repair the problem by
entering the appropriate configuration context and re-entering the command
using the error report as a guide.
For example, in Figure 1-31 there is an error in line 58. The faulty
command was
ProCurve(config-ike)# peer 10.2.2.1
The peer at 10.2.2.1 was already assigned to IKE policy 100 and cannot be
assigned to more than one policy. In this example, you should configure the
IKE policy for a different peer.
Creating and Transferring Configuration Files
To create a configuration file, begin by creating a base configuration on an
originating router. Save the base configuration by entering copy running-
config <destination location> <destination filename> or write mem-
ory from the enable mode context.
