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. 
 
Saving the current running configuration automatically 
You can configure the system to save the current 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, 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: 
z  If the configuration of the device does not change frequently, you are recommended to save the 
current running configuration manually as needed 
z  Because the S4510G uses a low-speed storage medium, you are recommended either to save 
the current running configuration manually, or to configure automatic saving with an interval longer 
than 1,440 minutes (24 hours).   
Follow these steps to automatically save the current running configuration:
