Saving the Configuration
In addition to applying the configuration changes, you can save them to flash memory on the switch.
Note – If you do not save the changes, they will be lost the next time the system is rebooted.
To save the new configuration, enter the following command at any CLI prompt:
#save
When you save configuration changes, the changes are saved to the active configuration block. The configuration being replaced by the save is first copied to the backup configuration block. If you do not want the previous configuration block copied to the backup configuration block, enter the following instead:
#save n
You can decide which configuration you want to run the next time you reset the switch. Your options include:
The active configuration block
The backup configuration block
Factory default configuration
Note – When resetting the switch to its factory default configuration, the switch will retain its stacking settings. To reconfigure or disable stacking, see “Stacking” on page 43.
You can view all pending configuration changes that have been applied but not saved to flash memory using the diff flash command. It is a global command that can be executed from any menu.
