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.
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
In standalone mode, the save file-url all command and the save [ safely ] [ backup | main ] [ force ]
command save the configuration to both MPUs if configuration auto-update is enabled. If configuration
auto-update is disabled, the commands save the configuration only to the active MPU.
In IRF mode, the save file-url all command and the save [ safely ] [ backup | main ] [ force ] command
save the configuration to all MPUs in the IRF fabric if configuration auto-update is enabled. If
configuration auto-update is disabled, the commands save the configuration only to the global active
MPU.
To ensure configuration consistency, HP recommends enabling the function.
NOTE:
The save command executed with only the
file-url
argument saves the running configuration only to the
specified path, regardless of whether the configuration auto-update function has been enabled.
To enable configuration auto-update:
