Before You Load a Configuration

Before you load a configuration, make a copy of the current configuration. This configuration contains the active configuration plus any configuration changes that have been made at the CLI. For information about the syntax in the files, see:

• Text format—SRC-PE CLI Command Reference, Volume 1 and SRC-PE CLI Command Reference, Volume 2
• XML format—SRC-PE XML API Configuration Reference

You can save the configuration to text or XML format. By default, the configuration is saved to a file in XML format.

To make a backup copy of the configuration:

• From the [edit] hierarchy level of configuration mode, save the configuration to XML format. For example:

  [edit]

  user@host# save backupcfg.xml format xml

• From the [edit] hierarchy level of configuration mode, save the configuration to text format. For example:

  [edit]

  user@host# save backupcfg.txt format text
