command saves the configuration to the
existing next-startup configuration file.
If the

next-startup configuration file.
Configuring configuration rollback
To replace the running configuration with the configuration in a configuration file without rebooting
the device, use the configuration rollback function. This function helps you revert to a previous
configuration state or adapt the running configuration to different network environments.
The configuration rollback function compares the running configuration against the specified
replacement configuration file and handles configuration differences as follows:
• If a command in the running configuration is not in the replacement file, the rollback function
executes the undo form of the command.
• If a command in the replacement file is not in the running configuration, the rollback function
adds the command to the running configuration.
• If a command has different settings in the running configuration and the configuration file, the
rollback function replaces the running command setting with the setting in the configuration file.
To facilitate configuration rollback, the configuration archive function was developed. This function
enables the system to save the running configuration automatically at regular intervals.

(Required.) Rolling back configuration
Configuring configuration archive parameters
Before archiving the running configuration, either manually or automatically, you must configure a file
directory and file name prefix for configuration archives.
Configuration archives are saved with the file name format 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.
After you change the file directory or file name prefix, or reboot the device, all of the following events
occur:
• The old configuration archives are regarded as common configuration files.
• The configuration archive counter is reset.
