3Com Router 3000 Ethernet Family
Configuration Guide
When the file-name argument is not specified, the configurations you made are saved
to the configuration file loaded at this startup.
Executing this command without the safely keyword can make the speed of saving
configuration files fast, but these files cannot survive a reboot or power-off during the
saving process; executing this command with the safely keyword, however, makes the
saving speed slower, but these files can survive a reboot or power-off during the saving
process.
By default, fast saving applies, which is recommended in an environment where stable
power supplies are available. In an environment where stable power supplies are not
available or in the case of remote maintenance, however, you are recommended to
execute the command with the safely keyword.
Note:
You are recommended to save the configurations using the save command before
rebooting the router, so that the router can keep exactly the same configurations after
reboot.
IV. Deleting a configuration file
To delete the configuration file loaded at this startup from the Flash, execute the reset
saved-configuration command. After the configuration file is deleted, the default or
the prespecified configuration file is used for initialization at next startup.
You may need to delete the configuration file loaded at this startup for one of the
following reasons:
After the software of the router has been upgraded, it may cause the mismatch
between the software and the configuration file.
It is found that the configuration file in the Flash has been damaged, for example, a
wrong configuration file is loaded.
After deleting the configuration file, you may use the save command to save the current
configurations to a new configuration file.
Perform the following configuration in user view.
