Working Configurations
All working configurations are saved in non-volatile memory. Whenever changes are made to the
working configuration by issuing any configuration command, the changes are automatically and
immediately saved in non-volatile memory. Changes are also copied to the standby Controller’s
non-volatile memory if Autocopy is on. If Autocopy is off, use the copy command to copy the entire
configuration to the standby Controller.
There is no command that can undo a configuration change. However, a temporary copy of the
current configuration can be saved with the temp copy command. This copy of the configuration
can be retrieved using the restore temp copy command, as long as power has not been cycled.
Another way to preserve the current configuration is to use the save tftp command, which saves a
snapshot of the configuration in a file system on your network using TFTP. This copy of the
configuration will not be destroyed by cycling power. The file can be retrieved using a restore tftp
command. See the save command and the restore command in Chapter 9.
