You can save, activate, and import configurations in the Configurations page.

Each SCC has an active, running configuration and a written, saved configuration.

When you apply your settings in the SCC, the values are applied to the active running configuration, but the values aren’t written to disk and saved permanently.

When you save your configuration settings, the values are written to disk and saved permanently. They take effect after you restart the RiOS services to which the configuration was pushed.

Each time you save your configuration settings, they’re written to the current running configuration, and a backup is created. For example, if the running configuration is myconfig and you save it, myconfig is backed up to myconfig.bak and myconfig is overwritten with the current configuration settings.

The Configuration Manager is a utility that enables you to save configurations as backups or to activate configuration backups. For detailed information, see the SteelHead User Guide.
