Without any argument this command displays both the running and the new (not yet applied) configuration. It allows you to view all parameters at once before applying (using the command apply). When the optional argument "diff" is given, only the difference between the current and the new configuration is displayed .
The load argument allows you to load a configuration file located on a file server. Only trusted file servers are allowed. Trusted file servers are defined with the command access.
The load usage form requires three mandatory arguments. The first argument is the protocol name (ftp, sftp, or tftp). The second argument is the name or IP address of the file server. The third argument is the configuration file name.
When tftp is used the configuration file must exist and be accessible on the file server. It must contain a set of valid configuration commands. Empty lines or lines beginning with the character "#" are ignored. The loading of a configuration file does not affect the running configuration. The command apply. must be used to apply the new loaded configuration.
The save argument is used to save the running configuration (already applied) in a file located on a file server. Only trusted file servers are allowed. Trusted file servers are defined with the command access. The save usage form also requires three mandatory arguments. The first argument is the protocol name (ftp, sftp, or tftp). The second argument is the name or IP address of the file server. The third argument is the configuration file name to save. The created file will contain a list of configuration commands. To save the new configuration (not yet applied) use the optional argument new.
Note that passwords used to connect to external services like SNMP managers or LDAP servers are always saved in encrypted form. However as the encryption is done after the apply operation, parts of a new configuration that contain clear passwords are never saved. If is also important to know that this command saves the logical configuration and not entire settings (including data such as URL lists, certificates or the antivirus signature base). To backup the entire settings please refer to the system command.
The factoryreset argument is used to make a factory reset. All parameters are set to their initial values. Administration passwords used to connect to the system are not part of the configuration and thus are not reset when using the 0
access (1) apply (1) system (1)
