This section provides information about configuring system management features
with CLI.

6.11.1 Saving Configurations

Whenever configuration changes are made, the modified configuration must be
saved so the changes are not lost when the system is rebooted. The system uses
the configuration and image files, as well as other operational parameters necessary
for system initialization, according to the locations specified in the boot option file
(BOF) parameters. See
Configuration files are saved by executing implicit or explicit command syntax.
Use the detail option of the save command to save both default and non-default
configuration parameters.
The index option ensures that the system preserves system indexes when a save
command is executed, regardless of the persistent status in the BOF. During a
subsequent boot, the index file is read along with the configuration file. As a result, a
number of system indexes are preserved between reboots, including the interface
index, LSP IDs, and path IDs. This reduces resynchronizations of the Network
Management System (NMS) with the affected network element.
If the save attempt fails at the destination, an error occurs and is logged. The system
does not try to save the file to the secondary or tertiary configuration sources unless
the path and filename are explicitly named with the save command.

Boot Options
• An explicit save writes the configuration to the location specified in the save
command syntax using the file-url option.
• An implicit save writes the configuration to the file specified in the primary
configuration location.
If the file-url option is not specified in the save command syntax, the system
attempts to save the current configuration to the current BOF primary
configuration source. If the primary configuration source (path and/or filename)
has changed since the last boot, the new configuration source is used.
