z
The saving and rollback operations are executed only on the master. To make the configuration
rollback take effect on the new master after an active/standby switchover, execute the
archive
configuration location
command to specify the path and filename prefix of the saved
configuration file on both the master and slaves. Therefore, before the execution of this command,
ensure that the specified path is available on both the master and the slaves, and the path cannot
include any member ID.
z
If the
undo archive configuration location
command is executed, the current running
configuration can neither be saved manually nor automatically, and the configuration by executing
the
archive configuration interval
and
archive configuration max
commands restores to the
default, meanwhile, the saved configuration files are cleared.
z
The value of the
file-number
argument is determined by the memory space. You are recommended
to set a comparatively small value for the
file-number
argument if the available memory space is
small.

the

command to view the filenames and save time of the saved
configuration files, so as to roll back the current configuration to a previous configuration state.
Configure an automatic saving interval according to the storage medium performance and the
frequency of configuration modification:

current running configuration manually as needed

the current running configuration manually, or to configure automatic saving with an interval longer
