Description
Use the save command, to save the current configuration files to flash memory.
After finishing a group of configurations and achieving corresponding functions,
get the current configuration files stored in the flash memory.
After a fabric is formed, if you execute the save command, every switch in the
fabric saves the current configurations to its individual configuration file.
If you do not enter the file-name parameter in this command, for the switches that
have specified the configuration file for booting by startup saved-configuration
command, the current configurations will be stored to the specified configuration
file; and for the switches that have not specified the configuration file for booting,
the current configurations will be stored to the default configuration file,
4500cfg.cfg.
