Huawei AR Router Save Command Purpose
Short answer
B The save command saves the current configuration to the configuration file and does not save the system time.
Question
Key Takeaways
The main trap is confusing configuration persistence with system time management; save applies to config, clock/NTP applies to time.
This question tests knowledge of Huawei AR router commands, specifically clarifying that the save command preserves configuration files rather than system time.
Common mistake: Choosing True by assuming 'save' implies saving all system states including time, whereas it only persists the running-config to flash.
Expert Analysis
The statement is False (Option B). In Huawei AR router CLI, the save command is strictly used to persist configuration changes. When executed, it copies the current running-configuration from memory into a startup-configuration file on the local storage (typically Flash). This ensures that the device retains its settings after a reboot or power cycle.
The concept of saving system time is unrelated to this command. System time is managed via the clock command (e.g., clock datetime) for manual setting or NTP protocols for synchronization. The confusion often arises because both operations involve 'saving' data, but they target different entities: configuration vs. temporal state. As noted in community feedback, the save command does not handle system time; it handles the configuration file.
Exam Strategy
When encountering questions about router commands, always distinguish between configuration management commands (like save, copy) and system status commands (like clock, debug). Memorize that 'save' specifically targets the startup-config file to ensure persistence across reboots.

hafizhou 👍 2B. False On the command line interface of Huawei AR routers, the save command is used to save the current configuration to the configuration file. It does not save the system time. The command is typically used after making configuration changes to ensure that the changes are saved and persistent across reboots. The system time is usually set using the clock datetime command or synchronized through network time protocols like NTP (Network Time Protocol).

Fmoura17 👍 1 Answered BAnswer: B. False The Save command saves the running configuration to flash memory so it is not lost after reboot. It has nothing to do with system time.
