save (Configuration Mode)
Syntax
save filename
Description
Save the configuration to an ASCII file. The contents of the current level of the statement hierarchy (and below) are saved, along with the statement hierarchy containing it. This allows a section of the configuration to be saved, while fully specifying the statement hierarchy.
For information on valid filename and URL formats, see Format for Specifying Filenames and URLs in Junos OS CLI Commands.
When saving a file to a remote system, the software uses the
scp/ssh protocol.
