Information
For an initial setup, the config-scr-download parameter of the reload-type command is
enabled. After the configuration file is successfully downloaded, the
config-scr-download parameter is automatically disabled. You can enable it again
using the
reload-type command.
To save the downloaded configuration or script file which are not
saved by default, configure the auto save option. When you
configure auto save, downloaded configurations are automatically
saved to the startup configuration. Auto saving the downloaded
configurations also requires enabling the config-scr-download
parameter. Downloaded scripts are automatically saved to the
autoexec script.
