Optional
Disabled by default, that is, the
current valid configurations are
directly saved to the configuration
file.
NOTE:
You can use the display saved-configuration command instead of the more command to view the
encrypted configuration file, because the latter cannot decrypt the file. Otherwise, you will be prompted
for operation failure or garbled characters.
Modes in Saving the Configuration
• Fast saving mode. This is the mode when you use the save command without the safely keyword.
The mode saves the file more quickly but is likely to lose the existing configuration file if the device
reboots or the power fails during the process.
• Safe mode. This is the mode when you use the save command with the safely keyword. The
mode saves the file more slowly but can retain the configuration file in the device even if the device
reboots or the power fails during the process.
The fast saving mode is suitable for environments where power supply is stable. The safe mode, however,
is preferred in environments where stable power supply is unavailable or remote maintenance is
involved.
Follow the steps below to save the current configuration:
To do… Use the command… Remarks
Save the current configuration to
the specified file, but the
configuration file will not be set as
the file for the next startup
save file-url
Save the current configuration to
the root directory of the storage
medium and specify the file as the
startup configuration file that will
be used at the next system startup
save [ safely ] [ force ]
Required
Use either command
Available in any view.
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 device reboots or the power supply fails. In this case, the device will boot with
the null configuration, and after the device reboots, you need to re-specify a startup configuration file for
the next system startup (see Specifying a Startup Configuration File to Be Used at the Next System
Startup ).
