Parameter
file-name: Filename, whose extension must be cfg. If this argument is not specified, the
configurations you made are saved to the configuration file loaded at this startup.
safely: Executing the command without the safely keyword is fast, but the file cannot
survive a reboot or power-off during the saving process; executing this command with
the safely keyword is slow, but the file can survive a reboot or power-off during the
saving process.
Description
Use the save command to save the current configuration file to the storage device.
After you finish and validate a set of configurations, you should save the current
configuration file to the Flash memory.
By default, fast saving applies. This mode is preferred in an environment where stable
power supplies are available. In an environment where stable power supplies are not
available or in the case of remote maintenance, however, the save safely command is
preferred.
Caution:
If you save the current configuration to the default configuration file with the save
command and also specify another configuration file to be loaded at next boot, the
saved configuration, which can be seen by executing the display
saved-configuration command, will not be executed at next boot.
Related command: reset saved-configuration, display current-configuration,
display saved-configuration.
Example
# Save the current configuration file to the default storage device.
