system-snapshot

This command is for managing snapshots that are can be used for system recovery. The device can maintain up to 10 snapshots. If 10 snapshots exist and you create a new one, the oldest snapshot is removed to accommodate the newly created snapshot.

Syntax

Command

Description

create <Snapshot Name> [force]

The device's version is automatically added as well as the date and time of the snapshot creation.

default <Snapshot Name>
