Saving and loading configuration
After configuration changes are made, all the changes are automatically registered but not saved
i.e. the effect of the change is immediate, however, if power fails, the changes are not saved and
restored, unless the changed are saved using the save command. It is also a good practice to save
the configuration on another server on the network using the tftp or ftp protocols.
