When you activate SafeMode, or when you leave and re-enter the configuration
mode context while SafeMode is enabled, the reload timer is activated and a
message is displayed in the CLI:
SAFEMODE: SafeMode enabled. Reboot in <n> seconds!
After SafeMode is enabled, you or any other CLI user can reset the timer by
entering You can reset the timer at any time, as often as you need to
Ctrl+R.
complete the configuration.
If you save your configuration to the startup-config while in SafeMode, you
may essentially negate SafeMode's effect: the router may reboot with the saved
disruptive configuration and you will still be locked out of the router. Be very
careful about saving your in-process configurations when in SafeMode.
The problem-config file that is generated when the router reboots can be
examined and edited in a text editor to repair the commands that caused the
problems. For more information on using a text editor to edit router
configurations, see "Configuration File Transfer Using the Console Port" on
page 1-78, "Configuration File Transfer Using a TFTP Server" on page 1-80, or
"Configuration File Transfer Using a Compact Flash Card" on page 1-83.
The problem-config file is saved in the router's internal flash memory. If you
want to transport the file or save a backup of the file using compact flash, you
need to copy the file to compact flash by entering copy flash problem-config
cflash problem-config from the enable mode context.
