Saving configuration by using different methods

Enabling configuration encryption
Configuration encryption enables the device to automatically encrypt a startup configuration file when
saving the running configuration to it. This function provides the following methods:

• Public key method—Any device that supports the configuration encryption function can decrypt the
encrypted configuration file.
To view encrypted configuration, use the display saved-configuration command instead of the more
command. If you use the more command, the system displays a failure message or garbled text.
To enable configuration encryption:
