1.2.4 Specifying a Configuration File for Next Startup

You can assign main or backup attribute to the configuration file for next startup when
main/backup attributes are supported on your device.
I. Assigning main attribute to the configuration file for next startup
If you save the current configuration to the main configuration file, the system will
automatically set the file as the main startup configuration file.
You can also use the startup saved-configuration cfgfile main command to set
the file as main startup configuration file.
II. Assigning backup attribute to the configuration file for next startup
If you save the current configuration to the backup configuration file, the system
will automatically set the file as the backup startup configuration file.
You can also use the startup saved-configuration cfgfile backup command to
set the file as backup startup configuration file.

startup through operations at the CLI. TFTP is used for intercommunication between
the device and the server. The backup function enables you to backup a configuration
file to the TFTP server, while the restore function enables you to download the
configuration file from the TFTP server for next startup.
