The safe mode,however, is preferred in environments where stable power supply is unavailable or remote maintenanceis involved.Follow the steps below to save the current configuration:To do… Use the command… RemarksSave the current configurationto the specified file, but theconfiguration file will not be setas the file for the next startupsave file-urlSave the current configurationto the root directory of thestorage medium and specifythe file as the startupconfiguration file that will beused at the next system startupsave [ safely ] [ backup |main ]RequiredAvailable in any viewz The configuration file must be with extension .cfg.z For the device that supports the main keyword, the execution of the save [ safely ] and save[ safely ] main commands has the same effect: The system will save the current configuration andspecify the configuration file as the main startup configuration file to be used at the next systemstartup.z During the execution of the save [ backup | main ] command, the startup configuration file to beused at the next system startup may be lost if the device reboots or the power supply fails. In thiscase, the device will boot with the null configuration, and after the device reboots, you need tore-specify a startup configuration file for the next system startup (refer to Specifying a StartupConfiguration File for the Next System Startup).Specifying a Startup Configuration File for the Next System StartupA startup configuration file is the configuration file to be used at the next system startup. You can specifya configuration file as the startup configuration file to be used at the next system startup in the followingtwo ways:z Use the save command. If you save the current configuration to the specified configuration file inthe interactive mode, the system automatically sets the file as the main configuration file to be usedat the next system startup.z Use the command dedicated to specify a startup configuration file, which is described in thefollowing table:Follow the step below to specify a configuration file as the startup configuration file for the next systemstartup:To do… Use the command… RemarksSpecify a startup configurationfile for the next system startupstartup saved-configurationcfgfile [ backup | main ]RequiredAvailable in user view
