Configuration guidelines
On the MSR4000 router, the configuration archive function saves the running configuration only on the
active MPU. To make sure the system can archive the running configuration after an active/standby
switchover, create the configuration archive directory on both MPUs.
Configuration procedure

2. Configure the
directory and file
name prefix for
archiving the running
configuration.

directory filename-prefix

For the MSR4000 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.
3. (Optional.) Set the
maximum number of
configuration
archives.
archive configuration max
file-number
The default number is 5.
Change the setting depending on the amount of
storage available on the device.
Enabling automatic configuration archiving
To ensure system performance, follow these guidelines when you configure automatic configuration
archiving:
• If the device configuration does not change frequently, manually archive the running configuration
as needed.
• If a low-speed storage medium (such as a flash memory) is used, do one of the following:
{ Archive the running configuration manually.
{ Configure automatic archiving with an interval longer than 1440 minutes (24 hours).
• If a high-speed storage medium (such as a CF card) is used and the device configuration changes
frequently, set a shorter saving interval.
Make sure you have set an archive path and file name prefix before performing this task.
