Task Command

Remarks

Save the running configuration to a file
other than the startup file for the next

reboot.

save file-url [ all |
[ chassis
chassis-number ] slot

slot-number ]

Available in any view.

The extension of the configuration file

must be .cfg.

You specify chassis chassis-number only

when the switch is in IRF mode.

The all keyword saves the configuration

to all SRPUs.

In standalone mode, if neither all nor slot

slot-number are specified, the command

saves the configuration to the active

SRPU.

In IRF mode, if neither all nor chassis

chassis-number slot slot-number are
specified, the command saves the

configuration to the active SRPU on the

master switch.

Save the running configuration to the
root directory of the storage medium

and specify the file as the startup
configuration file for the next reboot.

save [ safely ]
[ force ]

Available in any view.

NOTE:

The startup configuration file for the next reboot might be lost if a reboot or power failure occurs during the
saving process, and the switch will reboot with the default configuration. After the switch reboots, you must
re-specify the startup configuration file for the next reboot.

For more information about the save commands, see the fundamentals configuration guide for the H3C

S7500E switches.

Rebooting a card or the switch

You must reboot the switch after you upgrade or maintain its boot file or configuration file. You must also

reboot an SRPU or LPU after you change its operating mode. The following methods are available for you

to reboot the switch or a card:

Reboot the switch or a card at once.

Schedule an automatic reboot of the switch at a specific data and time, or after a certain amount

of time.

Power off and then power on the switch. Use this approach with caution. Powering off a running
switch can cause data loss and hardware damages.

To reboot the switch or a card at once:

Task Command

Remarks

Reboot the switch or a card other
than the standby SRPU at once (in

standalone mode).

reboot [ slot
slot-number ]

Available in user view.
If no slot is specified, the command reboots the

entire switch.
