Information About Configuration Management
The Cisco Nexus 1000V provides you with the capabiliyt to change the switch name, configure messages of the day, and display, save, and erase configuration files.
Changing the Switch Name
Use this procedure to change the switch name or prompt from the default (switch#) to another character string.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before beginning this procedure, you must know or do the following:
•You are logged in to the CLI in configuration mode.
•If the VSM is connected to vCenter Server then this procedure also changes the DVS the VSM is managing.In case of error in renaming the DVS, a syslog is generated and the DVS on vCenter Server will continue using the old DVS name.

switchname
Example:
n1000v(config)# switchname metro metro(config)# exit metro# |
Changes the switch prompt. |
Configuring a Message of the Day
Use this procedure to configure a message of the day (MOTD) to display before the login prompt on the terminal when a user logs in.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before beginning this procedure, you must know or do the following:
•You are logged in to the CLI in configuration mode.
•The banner message can be up to 40 lines with up to 80 characters per line.
•Use the following guidelines when choosing your delimiting character:
–Do not use the delimiting-character in the message string.
–Do not use " and % as delimiters.
•The following tokens can be used in the the message of the day:
–$(hostname) displays the host name for the switch.
–$(line) displays the vty or tty line or name.
DETAILED STEPS
Verifying the Configuration
Use this section to view the switch configuration. This section includes the following topics:
•Verifying the Software and Hardware Versions
•Verifying the Running Configuration
•Comparing the Startup and Running Configurations
•Verifying the Interface Configuration
Verifying the Software and Hardware Versions
Use this command to view the versions of software and hardware on your system, for example, to verify the version before and after an upgrade.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before using this command, you must know or do the following:
•You are logged in to the CLI in any command mode.

Saving a Configuration
Use this procedure to save the running configuration to the startup configuration so that your changes are retained in the configuration file the next time you start the system.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before using this command, you must know or do the following:
•You are logged in to the CLI in any command mode.
DETAILED STEPS
|
|
|

Step 1 |
copy running-config startup-config |
Saves the new configuration into nonvolatile storage, after which the running and the startup copies of the configuration are identical. |
Example:
n1000v(config)# copy run start
[########################################] 100%
n1000v(config)#
Erasing a Configuration
Use this procedure to erase a startup configuration.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Before using this command, you must know or do the following:
