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.
To configure parameters for saving the running configuration:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Configure the path and
filename prefix for saving
configuration files.
archive configuration location
directory filename-prefix
filename-prefix
By default, the path and filename
for saving configuration files are
not configured, and the system
does not save the configuration
file at a specified interval.
3. Set the maximum number of
configuration files that can be
saved.
archive configuration max
file-number Optional.
The default number is 5.
NOTE:
•
If the undo archive configuration location command is executed, the running configuration cannot be
saved either manually or automatically, and the configuration is restored to the default by executing the
archive configuration interval and archive configuration max commands, meanwhile, the saved
configuration files are cleared.
• The value of the file-number argument is determined by memory space. You are recommended to set a
comparatively small value for the file-number argument if the available memory space is small.
Enabling automatic saving of the running configuration
You can configure the system to save the 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. This enables you to easily roll back the running configuration to a previous configuration state.
Configure an automatic save interval based on the storage media’s performance and the frequency of
configuration modification in the following situations:
• If the configuration of the device does not change frequently, manually save the running
configuration as needed
• If the configuration of the device changes frequently, set the interval for automatically saving the
running configuration to a proper value
To enable automatic saving of the running configuration:
Step Command Remarks
1. Enter system view. system-view N/A
2. Enable the automatic saving
of the running configuration,
and set the interval.
archive configuration interval
minutes
Optional.
Disabled by default.
NOTE:
The path and filename prefix for saving configuration files must be specified before you configure the
automatic saving period.
