101 Question #84: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Options

• AThe current configuration files are backed up.
• BThe current configuration files are verified for syntax, then the running configuration is installed in
• CThe current configuration files are loaded into memory.
• DThe current configuration files are saved into an archive format.

Explanation

The save-config command on F5 BIG-IP writes the current in-memory running configuration to the persistent configuration files on disk, preserving the active state across reboots.

Common mistakes.

• B. Syntax verification followed by installation of a configuration into the running system describes a load or merge operation (load sys config), not a save; save-config writes the existing running state to disk without re-parsing or reinstalling it.
• C. Loading configuration files from disk into memory is the function of the load-config command; save-config performs the inverse operation by writing the current memory state out to disk files.
• D. Saving to a compressed archive format describes the save sys ucs command, which creates a User Configuration Set file; save-config writes standard flat configuration files, not a compressed or archived bundle.
