cfg save
Use this command to save configuration changes when the configuration change mode is manual
or revert
. If the mode is automatic
, the default, all changes are added to the saved configuration as you make them and this command has no effect. The set cfg-save
command in system global
sets the configuration change mode.
In manual
mode, commands take effect but do not become part of the saved configuration unless you execute the execute cfg save
command. When the FortiGate unit restarts, the saved configuration is loaded. Configuration changes that were not saved are lost.
The revert
mode is similar to manual
mode, except that configuration changes are reverted automatically if the administrative session is idle for more than a specified timeout period. This provides a way to recover from an erroneous configuration change, such as changing the IP address of the interface you are using for administration. To change the timeout from the default of 600 seconds, go to system global
and use the set cfg-revert-timeout
command.
Syntax
execute cfg save Save configs.
Example
This is sample output from the command:
# execute cfg save
config saved.
This is sample output when not in runtime-only configuration mode. It also occurs when in runtime-only configuration mode and no changes have been made:
# execute cfg save
no config to be saved.
