operation, the next-startup configuration file is retained. In fast mode, the device directly overwrites the
target next-startup configuration file. If a reboot or power failure event occurs during this process, the
next-startup configuration file is lost.
backup: Saves the running configuration to a configuration file, and specifies the file as the backup
next-startup configuration file.
main: Saves the running configuration to a configuration file, and specifies the file as the main
next-startup configuration file.
force: Saves the running configuration to the main next-startup configuration file that has been specified
in the system. Without this keyword, the system asks you to confirm the operation. If you do not confirm
the operation within 30 seconds, the system automatically aborts the operation. If you enter Y within the
time limit, you can continue the save process and change the next-startup configuration file during this
process.
Usage guidelines
If the base file name specified for the file-url argument does not exist, the system creates the file before
saving the configuration. If the file already exists, the system asks you to confirm whether to overwrite the
file. If you choose to not overwrite the file, the system cancels the save operation.
If neither the main keyword nor the backup keyword is specified, the save command saves configuration
to the main next-startup configuration file.
