Updating Global Configuration Settings
The Global Update command enables you to update global and device-wide settings, either on demand or as a scheduled task. These settings are not explicitly part of stacking configurations, but instead are referenced by or associated to the stackings. Figure 14 illustrates the settings that are part of a global configuration update.
The following global configuration settings may refer to stacking configurations that are not discovered in a global configuration update:
If a global configuration update has effected the stacking on these settings, a warning is displayed and you are given the option to perform a full device update.
To see the changes reflected in the NMC-RX application, you should perform a full device update.
To update global configuration settings:
- In the Network Workshop, select the device you want to update, right-click, and choose Update.
- The Update dialog box appears.
- Click one of the update buttons:
- Full Device—Updates the entire router, including all modules, slots, and ports. Global configuration settings are updated.
- Global Config—Updates only the global configuration settings listed in Figure 14.
The update begins and the Updating dialog box appears.
