Manually Saving The Running Configuration; Setting Configuration Rollback - HP 5120 series Configuration Manual

Manually saving the running configuration

Automatic saving of the running configuration occupies system resources, and frequent can saving
greatly affect system performance. If the system configuration does not change frequently, disable the
automatic saving of the running configuration and save it manually.
In addition, automatic saving of the running configuration is performed periodically, while manual
saving can immediately save the running configuration. Before performing complicated configuration,
manually save the running configuration so that the device can revert to the previous state if and when the
configuration fails.
Follow the step below to manually save the running configuration:
