continues with the next line. If the NWA/WAC finds an error, it stops applying the configuration file
or shell script and generates a log.
You can change the way a configuration file or shell script is applied. Include
setenv stop-on-
error off
in the configuration file or shell script. The NWA/WAC ignores any errors in the
configuration file or shell script and applies all of the valid commands. The NWA/WAC still generates
a log for any errors.
18.2.3 NWA/WAC Configuration File Details
You can store multiple configuration files on the NWA/WAC. You can also have the NWA/WAC use a
different configuration file without the NWA/WAC restarting.
• When you first receive the NWA/WAC, it uses the system-default.conf configuration file of
default settings.
• When you change the configuration, the NWA/WAC creates a startup-config.conf file of the
current configuration.
• The NWA/WAC checks the startup-config.conf file for errors when it restarts. If there is an
error in the startup-config.conf file, the NWA/WAC copies the startup-config.conf
configuration file to the startup-config-bad.conf configuration file and tries the existing
lastgood.conf configuration file.
• When the NWA/WAC reboots, if the startup-config.conf file passes the error check, the NWA/
WAC keeps a copy of the startup-config.conf file as the lastgood.conf configuration file for
you as a back up file. If you upload and apply a configuration file with an error, you can apply
lastgood.conf to return to a valid configuration.
18.2.4 Configuration File Flow at Restart
If there is not a startup-config.conf when you restart the NWA/WAC (whether through a
management interface or by physically turning the power off and back on), the NWA/WAC uses the
system-default.conf configuration file with the NWA/WAC’s default settings.
If there is a startup-config.conf, the NWA/WAC checks it for errors and applies it. If there are no
errors, the NWA/WAC uses it and copies it to the lastgood.conf configuration file. If there is an
error, the NWA/WAC generates a log and copies the startup-config.conf configuration file to the
startup-config-bad.conf configuration file and tries the existing lastgood.conf configuration file.
If there isn’t a lastgood.conf configuration file or it also has an error, the NWA/WAC applies the
system-default.conf configuration file.
You can change the way the startup-config.conf file is applied. Include the
setenv-startup
stop-on-error off
command. The NWA/WAC ignores any errors in the startup-config.conf
file and applies all of the valid commands. The NWA/WAC still generates a log for any errors.
