NETGEAR 8800 Chassis Switch CLI Manual new-config Specifies a new user-defined configuration. Default Saves the current configuration to the location used on the last reboot. Usage Guidelines The configuration takes effect on the next reboot. Each file name must be unique and can be up to 32 characters long but cannot include any spaces, commas, or special characters. Configuration files have a .cfg file extension. When you enter the name of the file in the CLI, the system automatically adds the .cfg file extension. Do not use this command with ASCII-formatted configuration files. Those configuration files have an .xsf file extension. For more information about using ASCII-formatted configuration files see the upload configuration [ | ] {vr } and the load script {arg1} {arg2} ... {arg9} commands. This command also displays in alphabetical order a list of available configurations. The following is sample output that displays the primary, secondary, and user-created and defined configurations ("test" and "XOS1" are the names of the user-created and defined configurations): exsh.9 # save configuration Execute the command primary Primary configuration file secondary Secondary configuration file Existing configuration file name "test" "XOS1" New configuration file name The switch prompts you to save your configuration changes. Enter y to save the changes or n to cancel the process. If you enter n, the switch displays a message similar to the following: Save configuration cancelled. If you enter y, the switch saves the configuration and displays a series of messages. The following sections provide information about the messages displayed when you save a configuration on your switch. Note: Configuration files are forward compatible only and not backward compatible. That is, configuration files created in a newer release, such as firmware 12.4, might contain commands that do not work properly in an older release, such as firmware 12.1. Appendix A.
