Using Dynamic Configuration

You use the dynamic configuration feature to send configuration messages without having to stop SwitchManager.

Before you begin

You must select an LLC before you perform the dynamic configuration.

Important! If you uncheck Update Current Configuration File, the setting is maintained for future CSA sessions unless you recheck it.

Steps for Dynamic Configuration

The following procedure describes how to send a configuration message to the switch using dynamic configuration.

1 To access the Dynamic Configuration dialog box, from the menu select Provisioning® System®Dynamic Configuration. The Dynamic Configuration dialog box opens.

2 Type the path and file name, or use the browse button to locate the configuration file that you want to send to the switch.

3 If you want to change the file location from the default selection of Local to CSA, click Local to SwitchMgr.

Local to CSA - The file is located on the machine where CSA is running.

Local to SwitchMgr - The file is located on the machine where SwitchManager is running, such as in a UNIX environment

4 If you do not want to Update the Current Configuration File, uncheck this option. If you uncheck the Update Current Configuration File, then new configuration does not append to the SwitchManager configuration file.

5 Click OK.
