Configure the path and filename
prefix for saving configuration
files
archive configuration
location directory
filename-prefix
filename-prefix
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.
Set the maximum number of
configuration files that can be
saved
archive configuration max
file-number
Optional
The default number is 5.
NOTE:
• If the undo archive configuration location command is executed, the running configuration cannot be
saved either manually or automatically, and the configuration is restored to the default by executing the
archive configuration interval and archive configuration max commands, meanwhile, the saved
configuration files are cleared.
• The value of the
file-number argument is determined by memory space. HP recommends that you 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 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. This enables you to easily roll back the current configuration to a previous configuration state.
Configure an automatic save interval based on the storage media’s performance and the frequency of
configuration modification:
• If the configuration of the device does not change frequently, manually save the running
configuration as needed
• If a low-speed storage medium (such as a flash) is used, save the 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.
