The number of saved configuration files has an upper limit. After the maximum number of files is saved,
the system deletes the oldest files when the next configuration file is saved.
Follow these steps to configure parameters for saving the current running configuration:

filename-prefix
Required
By default, the path and
filename of the saved
configuration file are not
configured, and the system
does not save the configuration
file at a specified interval.
Set the maximum number of

saved
archive configuration max
file-number Optional

z If the undo archive configuration location command is executed, the current running
configuration can neither be saved manually nor automatically, and the configuration by executing
the archive configuration interval and archive configuration max commands restores to the
default, meanwhile, the saved configuration files are cleared.
z The value of the file-number argument is determined by the memory space. You are recommended
to set a comparatively small value for the file-number argument if the available memory space is
small.
Saving the Current Running Configuration Automatically
You can configure the system to save the current running configuration at a specified interval, and use
the display archive configuration command to view the filenames and save time of the saved
configuration files, so as to roll back the current configuration to a previous configuration state.
Configure an automatic saving interval according to the storage medium performance and the
frequency of configuration modification:
z If the configuration of the device does not change frequently, you are recommended to save the
current running configuration manually as needed
z If a low-speed storage medium (such as a flash) is used, you are recommended either to save the
current running configuration manually, or to configure automatic saving with an interval longer
than 1,440 minutes (24 hours).
Follow these steps to automatically save the current running configuration:
