Saving Configuration By Using Different Methods - HP 830 Series Configuration Manual

Private key method—Only the device that encrypts the configuration file can decrypt the file.
•
• Public key method—Any device that supports the configuration encryption function can decrypt the
encrypted configuration file.
To view encrypted configuration, use the display saved-configuration command instead of the more
command. If you use the more command, the system displays a failure message or garbled text.

Saving configuration by using different methods

When saving the running configuration to a configuration file, you can specify the file as the next-startup
configuration file.
If you are specifying the file as the next-startup configuration file, use one of the following methods to
save the configuration:
Fast mode—Use the save command without the safely keyword. In this mode, the device directly
•
overwrites the target next-startup configuration file. If a reboot or power failure occurs during this
process, the next-startup configuration file is lost. You must re-specify a new startup configuration file
after the device reboots (see
Safe mode—Use the save command with the safely keyword. Safe mode is slower than fast mode,
•
but more secure. In safe mode, the system saves configuration in a temporary file and starts
overwriting the target next-startup configuration file after the save operation is complete. If a reboot
or power failure occurs during the save operation, the next-startup configuration file is still retained.
Use the safe mode if the power source is not reliable or you are remotely configuring the device.
The configuration file extension must be .cfg.
To save the running configuration, perform either of the following tasks in any view:
