Parameters
directory
: Specifies the name of a configuration archive directory, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 63
characters. The directory name must take the format
storage-medium-name:/folder-name
. This
directory must already exist on the master.
filename-prefix
: Specifies a file name prefix for configuration archives, a case-insensitive string of 1
to 30 characters. Valid characters are letters, digits, underscores (_), and hyphens (-).
Usage guidelines
Before archiving the running configuration, either manually or automatically, you must configure a
directory and file name prefix for configuration archives.
In an IRF fabric, the configuration archive function saves the running configuration only on the
master device. To make sure the system can archive the running configuration after a
master/subordinate switchover, create the directory on all IRF members.
Configuration archives take 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, all of the following events
occur:
•
The old configuration archives are regarded as common configuration files.
•
The configuration archive counter is reset.
•
The
display archive configuration
command no longer displays the old configuration
archives.
•
The serial number for new configuration archives starts at 1.
The
undo archive configuration location
command removes the configuration archive directory
and file name prefix settings. The command also performs the following tasks:
•
Disables the configuration archive function (both manual and automatic methods).
•
Restores the default settings of the
archive configuration interval
and
archive
configuration max
commands.
•
Clears the configuration archive information displayed by using the
display archive
configuration
command.
Examples
# Configure the configuration archive directory as
flash:/archive
and the archive file name prefix as
my_archive
.
<Sysname> mkdir flash:/archive
Creating directory flash:/archive... Done.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] archive configuration location flash:/archive filename-prefix my_archive
