Numerals (0-9)

Period ( . )

Saving a New Configuration.
If you create and save a configuration with a new file name, the switch
saves the new configuration and then prompts you to select the newly created configuration as the
switch’s default configuration.
The following sample output is similar to the message displayed:
Do you want to save configuration to test1.cfg? (y/n) Yes
Saving configuration on primary MSM ................................. done!
Configuration saved to test1.cfg successfully.
The switch then prompts you to select which configuration to use to bootup the system. The following
sample output is similar to the message displayed:
The current selected default configuration database to boot up the system
(primary.cfg) is different than the one just saved (test.cfg).
Do you want to make test.cfg the default database? (y/n)
Enter
y
to use the new configuration as the default configuration. Enter
n
to cancel the operation and
keep using the current default, active configuration.
Saving an Existing Configuration.
If you make and save changes to an existing configuration, the switch
prompts you to save and override the existing configuration.
The following sample output is similar to the message displayed:

Do you want to save configuration to test.cfg and overwrite it? (y/n) Yes
Saving configuration on primary MSM ............................... done!

similar to the message displayed:
The current selected default configuration database to boot up the system
(primary.cfg) is different than the one just saved (test.cfg).
