Saving Changes

The running configuration can be saved to a local or remote file location with the admin save [url] location command, where location is a character string specifying the local or remote location where the configuration is to be saved.

To make the running configuration persistent, the configuration should be saved to the startup configuration location specified in the Boot Options File (BOF) as bof configuration primary-location. This is achieved with the admin save command without specifying a location.

The MD-CLI has an implicit persistency option linked to the commit command: the auto-config-save command in configure system management-interface cli md-cli. When candidate configuration changes are successfully committed, the configuration is automatically saved if auto-config-save is set to true.

*(ex)[/configure system management-interface]
A:admin@node-2# info detail
    
---snip---
        md-cli {
            auto-config-save true
            environment {
                more true
                time-display local
                command-completion {
                    enter true
                    space true
                    tab true
                }

When auto-config-save is set to false, the admin save command must be issued to make the configuration persistent.
