2-4
Parameters
file-number: The maximum number of configuration files that can be saved, in the range 1 to 10. The
value of the file-number argument is determined by the memory space. You are recommended to set a
comparatively small value for this argument if the available memory space is small.
Description
Use the archive configuration max command to set the maximum number of configuration files that
can be saved.
Use the undo archive configuration max command to restore the default.
By default, a maximum of 5 configuration files can be saved.
Since excessive configuration files occupy large memory space, you can use this command to control
the number of the files. After the maximum number of configuration files is saved, the system deletes
the oldest files when the next file is saved (either automatically or manually). When you change the
maximum number of configuration files that can be saved, the exceeded files are not deleted. If the
number of the existing configuration files is larger than or equal to the newly configured upper limit, the
system deletes the oldest n files when the next file is saved, where n = the current number - the newly
configured number + 1, for example: if the number of configuration files that have been saved is 7, and
the newly configured upper limit is 4, when there is a new configuration file to be saved, the system
deletes 4 oldest files, where 4 = 7-4+1.
Before executing this command, configure the path and filename prefix of a saved configuration file by
using the archive configuration location command; otherwise, the execution of this command fails.
Note that, if the undo archive configuration location command is executed, the maximum number of
configuration files that can be saved also restores to the default.
