After you change the file directory or file name prefix, or reboot the device, the old configuration archives
are regarded as common configuration files, the configuration archive counter resets, and the display
archive configuration command does not display them. The serial number for new configuration archives
starts from 1.
After the maximum number of configuration archives is reached, the system deletes the oldest archive for
the new archive.
Configuration guidelines
In standalone mode, the configuration archive function saves running configuration only on the active
MPU. In IRF mode, the function saves running configuration only on the active MPU in the master device.
To make sure the system can archive running configuration after an active/standby or
master/subordinate switchover, create the configuration archive directory on all MPUs.
