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.
After you change the file directory or file name prefix, or reboot the device, the old configuration archives
are regarded as common configuration files, the configuration archive counter resets, and the display
archive configuration command does not display them. The serial number for new configuration archives
starts from 1.
After the maximum number of configuration archives is reached, the system deletes the oldest archive for
the new archive.
Configuration guidelines
On the 6604/6608/6616 router, the configuration archive function saves running configuration only on
the active MPU. To make sure the system can archive running configuration after an active/standby
switchover, create the configuration archive directory on both MPUs.

archive directory.
See "Managing the file system."
On the 6604/6608/6616 router:

active MPU.
• HP recommends creating the
directory on both MPUs.
2. Enter system view.

3. Configure the directory
and file name prefix for
archiving the running
configuration.
archive configuration location

On the 6604/6608/6616 router, do
not include MPU slot information in the
directory name.
By default, no path or file name prefix is
set for configuration archives, and the
system does not regularly save
configuration.
IMPORTANT:
The undo form of this command disables
both manual and automatic
configuration archiving, restores the
default settings for the archive
configuration interval and archive
configuration max commands, and
deletes all saved configuration archives.
