  3. In the Archive File Name field, enter a name following the archive-naming convention (prefixed with a pre-defined string "ICX7K_ARCHIVE").
    If a configuration archive with same name exists, the running configuration is not saved.
    If the number of archives in the system will exceed the configured archive size because of the addition of the new archive file, the oldest archive file that must be deleted is shown in the dialog box.
  4. Click Apply to save the running configuration as an archive file. A message is displayed indicating that the running configuration was saved successfully.
