R3166-R3206-HP High-End Firewalls System Management and Maintenance Command Reference-6PW101
44
Description
Use the archive configuration interval command to enable the automatic saving of the running
configuration and set the interval.
Use the undo archive configuration interval command to restore the default.
By default, the system does not automatically save the running configuration.
With this command executed, the system saves the running configuration with the specified filename to
the specified path at a specified interval (the value of the minutes argument).
Configure an automatic saving interval according to the storage media performance and the frequency
of configuration modification:
• If the configuration of the device does not change frequently, HP recommends that you save the
running configuration manually as needed
• If you use a low-speed storage media, HP recommends that you save the running configuration
manually, or configure automatic saving with an interval longer than 1,440 minutes (24 hours).
• If you use a high-speed storage media—such as a CF card—and the configuration of the device
changes frequently, HP recommends that you set a shorter saving interval.
Before executing the archive configuration interval command, you must configure the filename prefix
and path for saving configuration files by using the archive configuration location command.
