Usage Guidelines

The save command is a privileged command that requires supervisor mode to operate. If the save command is issued and a configuration buffer has not been modified, it will return without doing anything.

After issuing the save command, the user will be given a "Y/N" prompt. If "Y" is entered, the edited configuration will be saved to the device's Flash ROM. During the process, the current contents of the ROM will be saved to RAM, the ROM will be erased, and the contents programmed back into the ROM from RAM. This can take from 30 to 105 seconds, depending on the device type.

If power is turned off during this time, the contents of RAM will be erased and the process will be aborted. The device will then restart from its boot loader ROM. If this happens, you must reload the operating software using tftp or VPN 5000 Manager.

Please wait at least five minutes for the device to complete this process.

You can also use write and apply with most configuration changes to save and/or apply a new configuration without restarting the device.
