6.4.7 Notes on Editing a Configuration

(1) Notes on the number of configuration commands that can be set

Because user configurations are stored in memory, the number of commands you can enter in configuration entries depends on the amount of available memory. If there is insufficient memory for the entries, or if the number of entries you have edited exceeds the switch capacity, either of the following messages appears: Maximum number of entries is already defined (config memory shortage). <IP> or Maximum number of entries are already defined. If such a message appears, check whether any unnecessary entries exist.

(2) Notes on Copying and Pasting a Configuration

You can copy and paste configuration entries up to a maximum of 1000 characters per line, and less than 4000 characters total (including spaces and line feed codes) per operation. Note that the configurations will not be set correctly if you attempt to paste 4000 characters or more at one time.

If the configuration entries exceed 4000 characters, copy and paste them in multiple operations, each time keeping the number of characters to no more than 1000 per line and less than 4000 total.
