Hand-editing WIDEIP.CONF

Is there a way to load a hand-edited /config/gtm/wideip.conf without rebooting? I was thinking it should simply be [code]b load[/code], but that doesn't seem to work.

@FredR I was NOTable to use the command you posted "gtmload <*wideip.conf > , where the file name could be any edited file , this gave me an error , the version I am using is 10.2.3

 

 

The other command which worked for me by Hand Editing is as below.

 

 

1) Edit the "wideip.conf " in the /config/gtm/wideip.conf and after saving the edited file use the command

 

 

gtmparse -l

 

 

 

This command uses the file path " /config/gtm/wideip.conf"

 

 

So before doing this activity make sure you take a backup by copying the original file eg. from the /config/gtm folder

 

 

cp /config/gtm/wideip.conf ./filename_wideip.conf

 

 

now after editing the original wideip.conf , you can check for syntax using the command

 

 

gtmparse -i

 

 

eg. if I copied a wideip.conf to a file named Original_wideip.conf and edited the contents of Original_wideip.conf file, then I would check if my syntax is right using

 

 

gtmparse -i Original_wideip.conf

 

 

Hope this helps
