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. The saved configuration
files are cleared.
• The value of the
file-number
argument is determined by memory space. 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 using the following guidelines:
• If the configuration of the switch does not change frequently, manually save the running
configuration as needed
• Save the running configuration manually, or configure automatic saving with an interval longer
than 1,440 minutes (24 hours).
Follow these steps to enable automatic saving of the running configuration:

NOTE:
The path and filename prefix for saving configuration files must be specified before you configure the
automatic saving period.
Manually saving the running configuration
Automatic saving of the running configuration occupies system resources, and frequent saving can
greatly affect system performance. If the system configuration does not change frequently, disable
automatic saving of the running configuration and save it manually.
In addition, automatic saving of the running configuration is performed periodically, while manual
saving can be used to immediately save the running configuration. Before performing a complicated
configuration, manually save the running configuration so that the switch can revert to the previous state
if the configuration fails.
Follow the step below to manually save the running configuration:
