This process is generally straightforward and requires the user to copy and paste the generated switch configuration into the terminal.
All ports will be shutdown before applying switch configuration. If the port is in the SHCD and being used, it will be enabled when the configuration is applied.
There are some caveats that are mentioned below.
Shutdown all ports. Use show int physical to see the range of ports.
int 1/1/1-1/1/52
shut
Enter auto-confirm before pasting in the configuration. This will automatically accept prompts.
switch(config)# auto-confirm
Paste in the generated configuration.
Shut down all ports.
interface range ethernet 1/1/1-1/1/52
shut
Paste in the generated configuration.
When pasting in the configuration be sure that all the commands were accepted. In some cases you will need to back out of the current configuration context and back to global configuration for the commands to work as intended.
banner exec will need to be manually applied.
For example:
router ospf 1
router-id 10.2.0.4
router-id ospf 2 vrf Customer
router-id 10.2.0.4
To fix:
router ospf 1
router-id 10.2.0.4
exit
router ospf 2 vrf Customer
router-id 10.2.0.4
Verify that no cli default prefix-modes enable is configured on the switch before applying any configuration.
sw-spine-001 [mlag-domain: standby] (config) # no cli default prefix-modes enable
Save the configuration once the configuration is applied.
Refer to the Saving Configuration procedure.
