FIPS compliance
The router supports the FIPS mode that complies with NIST FIPS 140-2 requirements. Support for features,
commands, and parameters might differ in FIPS mode and non-FIPS mode. For more information about
FIPS mode, see Security Configuration Guide.
Saving the running configuration
To make configuration changes take effect at the next startup, save the running configuration to the
startup configuration file to be used at the next startup before the device reboots.
Complete the following tasks to save the running configuration:
Task Remarks
Enabling configuration auto-update
Optional.
On the 6604/6608/6616 router, perform this task to ensure
configuration consistency across MPUs.
Saving the running configuration Required.
The task described in "Using automatic configuration backup after a software upgrade" is automatically
performed the first time you use the save [ safely ] [ backup | main ] [ force ] command to save the
running configuration to the next-startup configuration file that contains settings incompatible with the
software version after a software upgrade.
Enabling configuration auto-update
The following matrix shows the feature and router compatibility:

auto-update
No No Yes
The configuration auto-update function enables the standby MPU to automatically save the running
configuration as the active MPU does when you execute the save [ safely ] [ backup | main ] [ force ]
command or the save filename all command. If this function is disabled, only the active MPU saves the
configuration.
To ensure configuration consistency, HP recommends enabling the function.
NOTE:
The save command executed with only the
filename
argument saves the running configuration only to the
specified path, regardless of whether the configuration auto-update function has been enabled.
