Selecting the modes for saving the configuration file

Enabling configuration file auto-save
When the configuration file auto-save function is enabled, and you save the current configuration
•
by executing the save [ safely ] [ backup | main ] [ force ] command or executing the save filename
all command and then pressing Enter, the master and a slave automatically save the current
configuration to the specified configuration file, and use this file as the startup configuration file,
keeping the consistency of the configuration files on the master and the slave.
If the configuration file auto-save function is not enabled, and you save the current configuration by
•
executing the save [ safely ] [ backup | main ] command or executing the save filename all
command and then pressing Enter, only the master will automatically save the current configuration
to the specified configuration file, and use the file as the configuration file for the next startup; the
slaves will neither save the configuration file nor configure the file for the next startup.
Follow these steps to configure the configuration file auto-save function:
To do...
Enter system view
Enable configuration file
auto-save
Selecting the modes for saving the configuration file
Fast saving: In this mode, you use the save command without the safely keyword. The file is saved
•
more quickly but is likely to be lost if the device reboots or the power fails during the process.
Safe: In this mode, you use the save command with the safely keyword. The file is saved slowly, but
•
the system retains the configuration file even if the device reboots or the power fails during the
process.
The fast saving mode is suitable for environments where the power supply is stable. The safe mode is
preferred in environments where a stable power supply is unavailable or remote maintenance is
involved.
Follow the steps below to save the current configuration:
To do...
Save the current configuration to
the specified file, but the
configuration file is not set as the
startup configuration file
Save the current configuration to
the root directories of the storage
media of all the member switches
and specify the file as the startup
configuration file
Use the command...
system-view
slave auto-update config
Use the command...
save file-url [ all | slot slot-number ]
