Enabling Automatic Saving Of The Running Configuration - H3C SR6600 Fundamentals Configuration Manual

To do...
Configure the path and filename
prefix for saving configuration files
Set the maximum number of
configuration files that can be
saved
You can only execute the saving and rollback operations on the AMB. To make the configuration
rollback take effect on the new AMB after an active/standby switchover, execute the archive
configuration location command to specify the path and filename prefix of the saved
configuration file on both the AMB and SMB. Therefore, before the execution of this command,
ensure that the specified path is available on both the AMB and SMB, and the path cannot include
any slot number. (On the SR6604/6608/6616 router)
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.
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.

Enabling Automatic Saving of the Running Configuration

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:
If the configuration of the device does not change frequently, manually save the current running
configuration as needed
If a low-speed storage medium (such as a flash) is used, save the current running configuration
manually, or configure automatic saving with an interval longer than 1,440 minutes (24 hours).
If a high-speed storage medium (such as a CF card) is used and the configuration of the device
changes frequently, set a shorter saving interval.
Follow these steps to enable automatic saving of the current running configuration:
To do...
Enter system view
Use the command...
archive configuration location
directory filename-prefix
filename-prefix
archive configuration max
file-number
Use the command...
system-view
9-122
Remarks
Required
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.
Optional
The default number is 5.
