Note:
Fast saving mode is suitable for environments where power supply is stable. The
safe mode, however, is preferred where stable power supply is unavailable or
remote maintenance is involved.
The extension name of the configuration file must be .cfg.
If you press <Enter> after entering the save command, you can save the
configuration file in an interactive way. In this way, you can use the default path or
enter a filename to specify a new path, but the suffix of the filename must be ".cfg".
In interactive mode, if you use the non-default path (that is, entering a new filename),
the system sets the file as the main configuration file for next startup

1.2.3 Erasing the Startup Configuration File

With the configuration file erased, your device will boot up with the default configuration
next time it is powered on.
You may need to erase the configuration file for one of these reasons:
After you upgrade software, the original configuration file does not match the new
software.
The startup configuration file is corrupted or not the one you need.
When main/backup attributes are supported, the following two situations exist:
While the reset saved-configuration [ main ] command erases the configuration
file with main attribute, it only deletes the main attribute of a configuration file
having both main and backup attribute.
While the reset saved-configuration backup command erases the configuration
file with backup attribute, it only deletes the backup attribute of a configuration file
having both main and backup attribute.
Follow the step below to erase the configuration file:
