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.
