1034 CHAPTER 80: FILE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT CONFIGURATION
n
■ When you use the save file-name command, if you specify the saving directory
in the file-name, the configuration will be saved in the specified directory; if
you do not specify a saving directory in the file-name, the configuration will be
saved in the current directory.
■ In interactive mode, if you specify a saving directory in the file name, the
directory to be specified must be the directory of the saving device on the main
fabric.
■ To save the configuration file, you can specify either the filename argument or
the safely keyword.
■ Fast saving mode is suitable for environments where power supply is stable.
The safe mode, however, is preferred where stable power supply is unavailable
or remote maintenance is involved.
■ The extension name of the configuration file must be .cfg.
Synchronizing
Configuration Files
Saved on the main fabric
to standby fabric
For a Switch 8800 switch, you can only execute commands on the main fabric
instead of a standby fabric. After the configuration file saving synchronization
function is enabled, when you use the save command on the main fabric to save
the current configuration, the standby fabric will automatically save the current
configuration to its configuration files to keep the consistency of the configuration
files on the main fabric and standby fabric.
Follow these steps to configure configuration file saving synchronization on the
main fabric and standby fabric:
Erasing the Startup
Configuration File
With the configuration file erased, your device will boot up with the default
configuration next time it is powered on.
You may need to erase the configuration file for one of these reasons:
■ After you upgrade software, the original configuration file does not match the
new software.
■ The startup configuration file is corrupted or not the one you need.
