Configuration Archive

ICX devices can manage multiple configuration files in flash memory, providing the flexibility to save multiple configuration files and to change the system configuration when needed. An archive is a text file to change the system configuration with the same syntax as a startup-config.txt file. You can create, copy, and delete archives. Archives are saved in a designated folder in the flash memory. The archive-naming convention requires archive names be prefixed with the predefined string "ICX7K_ARCHIVE". Configuration archive is supported on all devices.
