Saving the current configuration of the router
You can save the current configuration of the router in one of the following methods:
•
Fast saving—Executing the save command without the safely keyword. This mode saves the file
more quickly but is likely to lose the existing configuration file if the router reboots or the power fails
during the process. The fast saving mode is suitable for environments where the power supply is
stable.
•
Safe saving—Executing the save command with the safely keyword. The mode saves the file more
slowly but can retain the configuration file in the router even if the router reboots or the power fails
during the process. The safe saving mode is preferred in environments where a stable power supply
is unavailable or remote maintenance is involved.

save [ safely ]
NOTE:
•
The configuration file must be with extension .cfg.
•
During the execution of the save command, the startup configuration file to be used at the next system
startup may be lost if the router reboots or the power supply fails. In this case, the router will boot with
the factory defaults, and after the router reboots, you need to re-specify a startup configuration file for
the next system startup.
Rebooting the router
When upgrading and maintaining the startup configuration file or configuration file for the router, you
need to reboot the router. To reboot a router, use one of the following methods:
•
Use the reboot command to reboot a router.
•
Enable the scheduled reboot function at the CLI. You can set a time at which the router can
automatically reboot, or set a delay so that the router can automatically reboot within the delay.
•
Power on the router after powering it off, which is also called hard reboot or cold start. Powering off
a running router causes data loss and hardware damages, and therefore is not recommended.
•
Use the RESET button.
