When to Save/
Restore When a configuration is restored, the configuration in CMEM is overwritten, except
for Software Authorization Keys (SAKs) and Customer Software Keys (CSKs).
Follow these rules:
• Assign each configuration a unique name so there is no confusion about
which is the correct configuration file for a node. Note that CMEM names
are automatically assigned using the following naming convention:
“NodeName.mem” where NodeName is the configured name of the node that
appears in the node record. The default NodeName for the Vanguard 650
Series is “New.”
• Save CMEM contents before performing a software upgrade to avoid losing a
configuration you may later need.
• The configuration that is restored is not implemented until you boot the node
using the Node Boot command.
