overwriting the target next-startup configuration file after the save operation is complete. If a reboot
or power failure occurs during the save operation, the next-startup configuration file is still retained.
Use the safe mode if the power source is not reliable or you are remotely configuring the device.
To save the running configuration, perform either of the following tasks in any view:
Task
Command
Save the running configuration to a configuration file
without specifying the file as a next-startup
configuration file.

Save the running configuration to a configuration file
and specify the file as a next-startup configuration file.

Configuring configuration rollback
To replace the running configuration with the configuration in a configuration file without rebooting the
device, use the configuration rollback function. This function helps you revert to a previous configuration
state or adapt the running configuration to different network environments.
The configuration rollback function compares the running configuration against the specified
replacement configuration file and handles configuration differences as follows:
If a command in the running configuration is not in the replacement file, the rollback function
executes the
undo
form of the command.
If a command in the replacement file is not in the running configuration, the rollback function adds
the command to the running configuration.
If a command has different settings in the running configuration and the configuration file, the
rollback function replaces the running command setting with the setting in the configuration file.
The configuration archive function was developed to facilitate configuration rollback. This function
enables the system to automatically save the running configuration at regular intervals.
