Hi Team,
I hope everyone is doing well. I am trying to play around with free tier CML to follow Trunking on IOS Switch, but the challenge is when I stop the desktop device, all the configurations will disappear. To configure, I am using the following command:
ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0
There is no DHCP at the moment; it is just a simple topology. Anyone to help me with the solution
Hello Tasara
On all CML implementations, whether the free tier or the purchased version, in order to save a configuration on a desktop device, you must apply any configurations in the startup config. Once the device starts up, the configuration becomes locked. Notice the following under the config tab:
You can apply config changes while the node is active, but those will only remain as long as the node is running. If you want them to be persistent, you must shut down the desktop node, wipe it, and then edit the configuration under the config tab. Notice above that the ifconfig command was added to the initial configuration of the desktop node.
I hope this has been helpful!
