Setting configuration archive parameters

Before archiving the running configuration, either manually or automatically, you must set a file
directory and file name prefix for configuration archives.
The configuration archive feature saves the running configuration only on the master device.
Configuration archives are named in the format of prefix_serial number.cfg, for example,
archive_1.cfg and archive_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.
If you change the file directory or file name prefix, or reboot the device, the following events occur:
•
The old configuration archives change to common configuration files.
•
The configuration archive counter is reset.
•
The display archive configuration command no longer displays the old configuration
archives.
•
The serial number for new configuration archives starts at 1.
After the maximum number of configuration archives is reached, the system deletes the oldest
archive to make room for the new archive.

Remarks
N/A
By default, no path or file name prefix is set for
configuration archives, and the system does
not regularly save configuration.
The configuration archive directory must
already exist on the master device and cannot
include a member ID.
The undo form of this command performs the
following operations:
•
Disables both the manual and automatic
configuration archiving features.
•
Restores the default settings for the
archive configuration interval and
archive configuration max commands.
•
Clears the archive configuration
information displayed by using the
display archive configuration
command.
