during the process. The fast saving mode is suitable for environments where the power supply is
stable.
Safe saving: Executing the save command with the safely keyword. The mode saves the file more
slowly but can retain the configuration file in the device even if the device reboots or the power fails
during the process. The safe saving mode is preferred in environments where a stable power supply
is unavailable or remote maintenance is involved.
Follow these steps to save the current configuration of the firewall:
To do...
Save the current configuration to the specified
file, but the configuration file will not be set as the
file for the next startup
Save the current configuration to the root
directory of the storage medium and specify the
file as the startup configuration file that will be
used at the next system startup
NOTE:
The configuration file must be with extension .cfg.
During the execution of the save command, the startup configuration file to be used at the next system
startup may be lost if the device reboots or the power supply fails. In this case, the device will boot with
the factory defaults, and after the device reboots, you need to re-specify a startup configuration file for
the next system startup.
