If the force keyword is specified,
the command saves the
configuration to the next-startup
configuration file that has been
specified.
If the force keyword is not
specified, you may choose to
re-specify a next-startup
configuration file as instructed by
the system.
Configuring configuration rollback
To replace the running configuration with the configuration in a configuration file without rebooting the
device, use the configuration rollback function. This function helps you revert to a previous configuration
state or adapt the running configuration to different network environments.
The configuration rollback function compares the running configuration against the specified
replacement configuration file and handles configuration differences as follows:
• If a command in the running configuration is not in the replacement file, executes its undo form.
• If a command in the replacement file is not in the running configuration, adds it to the running
configuration.
• If a command has different settings in the running configuration and the configuration file, replaces
its running configuration with the setting in the configuration file.
To facilitate configuration rollback, the configuration archive function is developed. This function enables
the system to automatically save the running configuration at regular intervals as checkpoint references.

Task Remarks
Configuring configuration archive parameters Required.
• Enabling automatic configuration archiving
• Manually archiving running configuration
Required.
Use either approach.
Performing configuration rollback 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.
