Chapter 2: Basic Command Line Commands

SAVE CONFIGURATION

Syntax

save configuration

Parameters

None.

Description

This command saves your changes to the switch’s active boot configuration file for permanent storage.

Whenever you make a change to an operating parameter of the switch, such as enter a new IP address or create a new VLAN, the change is stored in temporary memory. It will be lost the next time you reset the switch or power cycle the unit.

To permanently save your changes, you must use this command. The changes are saved in the active boot configuration file as a series of commands. The commands in the file are used by the switch to recreate all of its settings, such as VLANs and port settings, whenever you reset or power cycle the unit.

To view the name of the currently active boot configuration file, see SHOW CONFIG on page 64. To view the contents of a configuration file, see SHOW FILE on page 234. For background information on boot configuration files, refer to the AT-S62 Management Software Menus Interface User’s Guide.

The following command saves your configuration changes to the active boot configuration file:
