Safe mode. This is the mode when you use the save command with the safely
keyword. The mode saves the file slower but can retain the configuration file in the
device even if the device reboots or the power fails during the process.
Caution:
Device reboot or the power failure during configuration file saving may result in loss of
the configuration file for next startup. In this case, the device should be started with
empty configuration and after the device starts, you need to re-specify a configuration
file for next startup. Refer to
II. Attributes of the configuration file when main/backup attribute is supported
Main attribute. When you use the save [ safely ] [ main ] command to save the
current configuration, the configuration file you get has main attribute. If this
configuration file already exists and has backup attribute, the file will have both
main and backup attributes after execution of this command. If the filename you
entered is different from that existing in the system, this command will erase its
main attribute to allow only one main attribute configuration file in the device.
Backup attribute. When you use the save [ safely ] backup command to save the
current configuration, the configuration file you get has backup attribute. If this
configuration file already exists and has main attribute, the file will have both main
and backup attributes after execution of this command. If the filename you entered
is different from that existing in the system, this command will erase its backup
attribute to allow only one backup attribute configuration file in the device.
Normal attribute. When you use the save file-name command to save the current
configuration, the configuration file you get has normal attribute if it is not an
existing file. Otherwise, the attribute is the original attribute of the file.
