1.2.2 Saving the Current Configuration
You can modify the configuration on your device at the command line interface (CLI). To
use the modified configuration for your subsequent startups, you must save it (using the
save command) as a configuration file.
I. Modes in saving the configuration
z Fast saving mode. This is the mode when you use the save command without the
safely keyword. The mode saves the file quicker but is likely to lose the original
configuration file if the device reboots or the power fails during the process.
z Safe mode. This is the mode when you use the save command with the safely
keyword. The mode saves the file slower but can retain the configuration file in the
device even if the device reboots or the power fails during the process.
Caution:
Device reboot or the power failure during configuration file saving may result in loss of
the configuration file for next startup. In this case, the device should be started with
empty configuration and after the device starts, you need to re-specify a configuration
file for next startup. Refer to
Specifying a Configuration File for Next Startup for details.
