5.12.1.3 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
filenames 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.
Use either of the following CLI syntaxes to save a configuration:
CLI Syntax: bof# save [cflash-id]
Example: ALU-1# bof
ALU-1>bof# save cf3:
ALU-1>bof#
CLI Syntax: admin# save [file-url] [detail] [index]
Example: ALU-1# admin save cf3:\test123.cfg
Saving config.# Saved to cf3:\test123.cfg
... complete
ALU-1#
5.12.1.4 Saving a Configuration to a Different Filename
Save the current configuration with a unique filename to have additional backup
copies and to edit parameters with a text editor. You can save your current
configuration to an ASCII file.
Use either of the following CLI syntaxes to save a configuration to a different location:
CLI Syntax: bof# save [cflash-id]
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.
