Alcatel switches working in two modes

Alcatel switches can operate in two modes: working and certified (show running-directory to know in which mode the switch is). 

In working mode, the configuration can be modified, whereas it's no possible in certified mode .

When booting, if working and certified configuration files are different, the switch will boot in certified mode. Conf files are stored in certified/boot.cfg and working/boot.cfg

• save running -> working: write memory
• save working -> certified: copy working certified [flash-synchro]
• save running even in certified mode: configuration snapshot all <file>. Then move the file to working/boot.cfg
• reboot in working mode without rollback: reload working no rollback-timeout
• view running configuration: show configuration snapshot [all|vlan|ip|...] or write terminal
