The safe mode, however, is preferred where stable power supply is unavailable
or remote maintenance is involved.
■ The extension name of the configuration file must be .cfg.
■ If you press <Enter> after entering the save command, you can save the
configuration file in an interactive way. In this way, you can use the default
path or enter a filename to specify a new path, but the suffix of the filename
must be “.cfg”.
■ In interactive mode, if you use the non-default path (that is, entering a new
filename), the system sets the file as the main configuration file for next startup
Erasing the Startup
Configuration File
With the configuration file erased, your device will boot up with the default
configuration next time it is powered on.
You may need to erase the configuration file for one of these reasons:
■ After you upgrade software, the original configuration file does not match the
new software.
■ The startup configuration file is corrupted or not the one you need.
When main/backup attributes are supported, the following two situations exist:
■ While the reset saved-configuration [ main ] command erases the
configuration file with main attribute, it only deletes the main attribute of a
configuration file having both main and backup attribute.
■ While the reset saved-configuration backup command erases the
configuration file with backup attribute, it only deletes the backup attribute of
a configuration file having both main and backup attribute.
