Modifying and Saving a Configuration
If you modify a configuration file, the changes remain in effect only during the current power
cycle unless a
save
command is executed. Changes are lost if the system is powered down or the
router is rebooted without saving.
• Specify the file URL location to save the running configuration. If a destination is not
specified, the files are saved to the location where the files were found for that boot
sequence. The same configuration can be saved with different file names to the same
location or to different locations.
• The detail option adds the default parameters to the saved configuration.
• The index option forces a save of the index file.
• Changing the active and standby addresses without reboot standby CPM may cause a
boot-env sync to fail.
The following command saves a configuration:
CLI Syntax:
bof# save [ cflash-id ]
Example : A:
ALA-1# bof
A:
ALA-1>bof# save cf:
A:
ALA-1>bof#
The following command saves the system configuration:
CLI Syntax:
admin# save [ file-url ] [detail] [index]
Example : A:
ALA-1# admin save cf:\test123.cfg
Saving config.# Saved to cf:\test123.cfg
... complete
A:
ALA-1#
NOTE : If the
persist
option is enabled and the
admin save file-url
command is executed
with an FTP path used as the
file-url
parameter, two FTP sessions simultaneously open to the
FTP server. The FTP server must be configured to allow multiple sessions from the same login,
otherwise, the configuration and index files will not be saved correctly.
