save configuration
save configuration {primary | secondary | <existing-config> | <new-config>}
Description
Saves the current configuration from the switch’s runtime memory to non-volatile memory.
Syntax Description
Default
Saves the current configuration to the location used on the last reboot.
Usage Guidelines
The configuration takes effect on the next reboot.
Each file name must be unique and can be up to 32 characters long but cannot include any spaces,
commas, or special characters.
Configuration files have a .cfg file extension. When you enter the name of the file in the CLI, the system
automatically adds the .cfg file extension. Do not use this command with ASCII-formatted configuration
files. Those configuration files have a .xsf file extension. For more information about using ASCII-
formatted configuration files see the
upload configuration [<hostname> | <ipaddress>]
<filename> {vr <vr-name>}
and the
load script <script-file>
commands.
This command also displays in alphabetical order a list of available configurations. The following is
sample output that displays the primary, secondary, and user-created and defined configurations (
“test”
and
“XOS1”
are the names of the user-created and defined configurations):
exsh.9 # save configuration
<cr> Execute the command
primary Primary configuration file
secondary Secondary configuration file
<existing-config> Existing configuration file name
"test" "XOS1"
<new-config> New configuration file name
The switch prompts you to save your configuration changes. Enter
y
to save the changes or
n
to cancel
the process.
If you enter
n
, the switch displays a message similar to the following:
Save configuration cancelled.
primary
Specifies the primary saved configuration.
secondary
Specifies the secondary saved configuration.
existing-config
Specifies an existing user-defined configuration.
new-config
Specifies a new user-defined configuration.
