Parameters
minutes: Specifies the interval (in minutes) for automatically saving the running configuration. The value range is 10 to 525600 (365 days).
Usage guidelines
Before enabling automatic configuration archiving, use the archive configuration location command to specify the configuration archive directory and archive file name prefix.
Configuration archive is a feature that facilitates configuration rollback. It provides manual and automatic methods for saving the running configuration.
Automatic configuration archiving enables the system to periodically save the running configuration to the archive directory. After the system finishes an automatic archive, it resets the archiving interval timer. For more information about the archiving mechanism, see the section about configuration rollback in Fundamentals Configuration Guide.
Change the archiving interval depending on the available amount of storage space. The shorter the interval, the more amount of free storage space is required.
Examples
# Set the system to archive the running configuration every 60 minutes.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] archive configuration interval 60
Archive files will be saved every 60 minutes.

Parameters
directory: Specifies the archive directory, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. The value for this argument must take the format of storage-medium-name:/folder-name. The directory must already exist on the master. (IRF-capable devices.)
directory: Specifies the archive directory, a case-insensitive string of 1 to 63 characters. The value for this argument must take the format of storage-medium-name:/folder-name. The directory must already exist on the device. (IRF-incapable devices.)
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 set a directory and file name prefix for configuration archives.
In an IRF fabric, the configuration archive feature 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 are named in the format of 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.
If you change the file directory or file name prefix, or reboot the device, the following events occur:
· The old configuration archives change to 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 operations:
· Disables the configuration archive feature (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
# Set 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

archive configuration max
Use archive configuration max to set the maximum number of configuration archives.
Use undo archive configuration max to restore the default.
Syntax
archive configuration max file-number
undo archive configuration max
Default
Up to five configuration archives can be saved.

Parameters
file-number: Specifies the maximum number of configuration archives that can be saved. The value range is 1 to 10. Adjust the setting depending on the amount of storage space available.
Usage guidelines
Before you can set a limit on configuration archives, use the archive configuration location command to specify a configuration archive directory and archive file name prefix.
After the maximum number of configuration archives is reached, the system deletes the oldest archive for the new archive.
Changing the limit setting to a lower value does not cause immediate deletion of excess archives. Instead, the configuration archive feature deletes the oldest n files when a new archive is manually or automatically saved, where n = current archive count – new archive limit + 1.
Suppose seven configuration archives have been saved before the archive limit is set to four. When saving a new configuration archive, the system first deletes the oldest four (7 – 4 + 1) archives.
If you execute the undo archive configuration location command, the default archive limit is restored.
Examples
# Set the maximum number of configuration archives to 10.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] archive configuration max 10

Parameters
ipv4-server: Specifies a TFTP server by its IPv4 address or host name. The host name is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 253 characters. Valid characters include letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and dots (.).
ipv6 ipv6-server: Specifies a TFTP server by its IPv6 address or host name. The host name is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 253 characters. Valid characters include letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and dots (.).
dest-filename: Specifies the target file name used for saving the file on the server. The file name must use the .cfg extension. If you do not specify a target file name, the source file name is used.
Examples
# Back up the main next-startup configuration file to the IPv4 TFTP server at 2.2.2.2, and set the target file name to 192-168-1-26.cfg.
<Sysname> backup startup-configuration to 2.2.2.2 192-168-1-26.cfg

Parameters
private-key: Encrypts configuration with a private key. All H3C devices running Comware V7 software use the same private key.
public-key: Encrypts configuration with a public key. All H3C devices running Comware V7 software use the same public key.
Usage guidelines
Configuration encryption enables the device to automatically encrypt a configuration file when saving the running configuration to the file.
Only H3C devices running Comware V7 software can decrypt the encrypted configuration file.
Examples
# Enable the public-key method for configuration encryption.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] configuration encrypt public-key
configuration replace file

Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
filename: Specifies the name of the replacement configuration file suffixed with the .cfg extension for configuration rollback. Excluding the .cfg extension, the file name is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 255 characters and can include path information. Valid characters include letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and dots (.). If the file path includes a folder name, the folder must already exist.
Usage guidelines
To replace the running configuration with the configuration in a configuration file without rebooting the device, use the configuration rollback feature. This feature helps you revert to a previous configuration state or adapt the running configuration to different network environments.
To ensure a successful rollback, follow these guidelines:
· Make sure the replacement configuration file is created by using the configuration archive feature or the save command on the device.
· If the configuration file is not created on the device, make sure the command lines in the configuration file are fully compatible with the device.
· Make sure the replacement configuration file is not encrypted.
Examples
# Replace the running configuration with the configuration in the my_archive_1.cfg configuration file.
<Sysname> system-view
[Sysname] configuration replace file my_archive_1.cfg
Current configuration will be lost, save current configuration? [Y/N]:n

Usage guidelines
Current startup configuration file is the configuration file that has been loaded. Next-startup configuration file is the configuration file used at the next startup.
In an IRF fabric, all IRF members use the same current startup configuration file as the master. After a master/subordinate switchover, it is normal that the current startup configuration files on all IRF members are displayed as NULL. This is because the new master continues to run with the running configuration rather than rebooting with a startup configuration file.

CAUTION: Use this command with caution. This command deletes the specified next-startup configuration file permanently from the device. (IRF-incapable devices.) Use this command with caution. This command permanently deletes the specified next-startup configuration file from all IRF member devices. (IRF-capable devices.) |
Delete a next-startup configuration file if it does not match the software version or is corrupted.
You can delete the main file, the backup file, or both.
To delete a file that is set as both main and backup next-startup configuration files, you must execute both the reset saved-configuration backup command and the reset saved-configuration main command. Using only one of the commands removes the specified file attribute instead of deleting the file.
For example, if the reset saved-configuration backup command is executed, the backup next-startup configuration file setting is set to NULL. However, the file is still used as the main file. To delete the file, you must also execute the reset saved-configuration main command.
If you do not specify a configuration file attribute, the reset saved-configuration command deletes the main next-startup configuration file.
Examples
# (WX1800H, WX2500H, and WX3000H ACs.) Delete the main next-startup configuration file.

all: Saves the running configuration to all IRF member devices. If you do not specify this keyword or the slot slot-number option, the command saves the running configuration only to the master. The following matrix shows the all keyword and hardware compatibility:

slot slot-number: Specifies an IRF subordinate device by its member ID. If you do not specify a subordinate device or the all keyword, this command saves the running configuration only to the master. For IRF-incapable devices, do not specify this option.
safely: Saves the configuration file in safe mode. If you do not specify this keyword, the device saves the configuration file in fast mode. Safe mode is slower than fast mode, but more secure. As a best practice, specify the safely keyword for this command.
backup: Saves the running configuration to a configuration file, and specifies the file as the backup next-startup configuration file. If you do not specify this keyword or the main keyword, the command specifies the saved file as the main next-startup configuration file.
main: Saves the running configuration to a configuration file, and specifies the file as the main next-startup configuration file. If you do not specify this keyword or the backup keyword, the command specifies the saved file as the main next-startup configuration file.
force: Saves the running configuration without prompting for confirmation. If you do not specify this keyword, the system prompts you to confirm the operation. If you do not confirm the operation within 30 seconds, the system automatically aborts the operation. If you enter Y within the time limit, you can continue the save process and change the target file name during the process.
changed: Overwrites the target configuration file with the running configuration if an inconsistency is detected between the settings in the configuration file and the running configuration. The save command does not take effect if no inconsistency is detected. If you do not specify this keyword, the save command always overwrites the configuration file with the running configuration.
Usage guidelines
If the file specified for this command does not exist, the system creates the file before saving the configuration. If the file already exists, the system prompts you to confirm whether to overwrite the file. If you choose to not overwrite the file, the system cancels the save operation.
This command saves the running configuration to an .mdb binary file as well as a .cfg text file. The two files use the same file name. An .mdb file takes less time to load than a .cfg file.
In safe mode, the system saves configuration in a temporary file and starts overwriting the target next-startup configuration file after the save operation is complete. If a reboot, power failure, out of memory, or out of storage space event occurs during the save operation, the next-startup configuration file is retained.
In fast mode, the device directly overwrites the target next-startup configuration file. If a reboot, power failure, out of memory, or out of storage event occurs during this process, the next-startup configuration file is lost.

startup saved-configuration
Use startup saved-configuration to specify a file as a next-startup configuration file.
Use undo startup saved-configuration to configure the system to start up with the factory defaults at the next startup.
Syntax
startup saved-configuration cfgfile [ backup | main ]
undo startup saved-configuration
No next-startup configuration files are specified.
Views
Predefined user roles
network-admin
Parameters
cfgfile: Specifies the name of a .cfg configuration file suffixed with the .cfg extension. Excluding the .cfg extension, the file name is a case-insensitive string of 1 to 255 characters. Valid characters include letters, digits, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and dots (.). This .cfg file must already exist in the root directory of the storage medium.
backup: Specifies the configuration file as the backup next-startup configuration file.
main: Specifies the configuration file as the main next-startup configuration file. This is the primary configuration file that the device attempts to load at startup. If the loading attempt fails, the device tries the backup next-startup configuration file.
Usage guidelines

CAUTION: In an IRF fabric, the undo startup saved-configuration command can cause an IRF split after the IRF fabric or an IRF member reboots. |
In an IRF fabric, the startup saved-configuration command applies to all IRF members. To successfully execute this command, make sure the specified file has been saved in the root directory of the storage medium on each member.
If you do not specify the backup or main keyword, the startup saved-configuration command specifies the main next-startup configuration file.
As a best practice, specify different files as the main and backup next-startup configuration files.
The undo startup saved-configuration command changes the file attribute of the main and backup next-startup configuration files to NULL. However, the command does not delete the two configuration files.
You can also specify a configuration file as a next startup file when you use the save command to save the running configuration.
Examples
# Specify the main next-startup configuration file.
<Sysname> startup saved-configuration testcfg.cfg
Please wait ....... Done!
