Task Command Remarks
Save the running configuration to
a configuration file without
specifying the file as a
next-startup configuration file.
save file-url [ all | chassis
chassis-number slot
slot-number ]
N/A
Save the running configuration to
a configuration file and specify
the file as a startup configuration
file.
save [ safely ] [ backup |
main ] [ force ] [ mdc-all |
changed ]
Make sure you save the configuration
to a file in the root directory of the
storage medium.
This command saves the configuration
to all MPUs in the IRF fabric.
As a best practice, specify the safely
keyword for reliable configuration
saving.
If you specify only the safely keyword,
the command saves the configuration
to the main startup configuration file for
the MDC where you are logged in.
If the force keyword is specified, the
command saves the configuration to
the existing next-startup configuration
file.
If the force keyword is not specified,
the command allows you to specify a
new next-startup configuration file.
Configuring configuration rollback
To replace the running configuration with the configuration in a configuration file without rebooting
the device, use the configuration rollback feature. This feature helps you revert to a previous
configuration state or adapt the running configuration to different network environments.
The configuration rollback feature compares the running configuration against the specified
replacement configuration file and handles configuration differences as follows:
•
If a command in the running configuration is not in the replacement file, the rollback feature
executes the
undo form of the command.
•
If a command in the replacement file is not in the running configuration, the rollback feature
adds the command to the running configuration.
•
If a command has different settings in the running configuration and the configuration file, the
rollback feature replaces the running command setting with the setting in the configuration file.
To facilitate configuration rollback, the configuration archive feature was developed. This feature
enables the system to save the running configuration automatically at regular intervals.
