Enabling automatic configuration archiving
To ensure system performance, follow these guidelines when you configure automatic configuration
archiving:
•
If the device configuration does not change frequently, manually archive the running configuration
as needed.
If the device configuration changes frequently, configure automatic archiving with an interval longer
•
than 1440 minutes (24 hours).
Make sure you have set an archive path and file name prefix before performing this task.
To enable automatic configuration archiving:
Step
1.
Enter system view.
2.
Enable automatic
configuration archiving and
set the archiving interval.
Manually archiving the running configuration
To save system resources, disable automatic configuration archiving and manually archive the
configuration if the configuration will not be changed very often. You can also manually archive
configuration before performing complicated configuration tasks. Then, you can use the archive for
configuration recovery if the configuration attempt fails.
Make sure you have set an archive path and file name prefix before performing this task.
Perform the following task in user view:
Task
Manually archive the running configuration.
Rolling back configuration
To avoid a rollback failure, follow these guidelines:
Make sure the replacement configuration file is created by using the configuration archive function
•
or the save command on the local device.
•
If the configuration file is not created on the local device, make sure the command lines in the
configuration file are fully compatible with the local device.
The replacement configuration file is not encrypted.
•
To perform a configuration rollback:
