Re: [Netdisco] Change VLAN

Thanks Brian for your response. I'm new the Linux world, what do I do with the file? Will this automatically make the changes to my settings?

Thanks,

Unfortunately, writing changes to the configuration is not currently
done in netdisco.  I wrote a patch that is currently in CVS awaiting the
next release (I believe) that introduces an hourly cronjob that,
instead of writing configs at the end of every job, writes the configs
on switches that have had changes made in the last hour.  This way they
are batched together as to not hammer the flash with writes.

Currently only Cisco devices are supported.

I believe this is the patch that was applied:
