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 the power supply is stable. The safe mode is
preferred in environments where a stable power supply is unavailable or remote maintenance is
involved.
Follow the steps below to save the current configuration:

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 ]
NOTE:
•
The configuration file must include the 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 factory defaults, and after the device reboots, you will 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
”).
