Task Configuring configuration archive parameters • Enabling automatic configuration archiving • Manually archiving running configuration Performing configuration rollback Remarks Required. Required. Use either approach. Required. Configuring configuration archive parameters Before archiving the running configuration, either manually or automatically, you must configure a file directory and file name prefix for configuration archives. Configuration archives are saved with the file name format prefix_serial number.cfg, for example, 20080620archive_1.cfg and 20080620archive_2.cfg. The serial number is automatically assigned from 1 to 1000, increasing by 1. After the serial number reaches 1000, it restarts from 1. After you change the file directory or file name prefix, or reboot the device, the old configuration archives are regarded as common configuration files, the configuration archive counter resets, and the display archive configuration command does not display them. The serial number for new configuration archives starts from 1. After the maximum number of configuration archives is reached, the system deletes the oldest archive for the new archive. Configuration guidelines In an IRF fabric, the configuration archive function saves running configuration only on the master device. To make sure the system can archive running configuration after a master/subordinate switchover, create the directory on all IRF members. Configuration procedure To configure configuration archive parameters: Step 1. Create the configuration archive directory. 2. Enter system view. Command See "Managing the file system" system-view Remarks In an IRF fabric, create the directory at least on the master. N/A 94
