[AusNOG] Issue with configuration on VYOS

Tue Aug 26 21:15:38 EST 2014

Well that’s strange :p

Ive always known it to be

Save
Commit

Never the other way around… learn something new everyday

Lets see if this now works for my entire config :D

Appreciate the help / advice from all those who provided positive assistance :D

Try running

Commit
And then
Save

If you don't commit,  there is nothing to save.

Cool so you didn't save your config before rebooting.

Try setting a ip and commit & save and then reboot?

Gday Nick,

Sure is, I created a file called “newfile” and rebooted, this file still exists :D

Nah that's how it works. Saves the ramfs to an image on the disk each time 'save' is run.

Daniel, what happens when you save a file into /config/auth/ and reboot, is it still there?

none on /opt/vyatta/config type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,mode=775,nr_inodes=0)
/opt/vyatta/etc/config on /config type none (rw,bind)

That'll do it ;)   Assuming /config is where your config is stored, it's on a ramdisk rofl

Daniel,

What does the output of

sudo mount
Or
sudo mounts

(Can't remember from the top of my head)

Look like?

Hi Nathan

I can only assume its just a standard “install system” once the ISO is mounted and booted?

Once the install has finished, I powered down the VM, edited the VM settings and unmounted the ISO and then powered it up, and ran my configurations

I agree with Damien, it sounds like it had not installed to the file system correctly and is using a volatile imagine

Indeedy :D

I first didn’t.. but then realised,  unmounted the ISO, rebooted and applied the config once AGAIN  and then repeated the rebooting, and still nutter..

I am currently installing another Vyatta VM atm, going to apply the config, as I know it works on Vyatta, and then do a run over with the VYOS image and convert it to vyos   and see if it saves the config on reboot that way…

Dumb question, but have you unmounted the install image?  That confused the heck out of me the first time I installed it, till i realised it'd booted from the CD instead of the hard disk..

Hi Guys

Okay so ive just installed a VYOS router in my dev environment,

I have configured it all up, adding IP’s and protocols and routes ect

I have then attempted to save and commit the config which has worked fine by running the following commands

Save
Commit

Then I have exited out of the configuration mode, and restarted the router,

Once the router has rebooted, ive logged back in  but NOTHING is there.. its almost like the config wasn’t saved properly when I typed save…

Does anybody have any ideas what im doing wrong here?
