8.1 Overview of Configuration File Management

Definition
A configuration file is a collection of command lines that run on a device.

Purpose
Configuration file management allows you to view, save, compare, back up,
restore, and compress configuration files, as well as deleteand roll back
configurations in the files. You can also specify the configuration file to be loaded
at the next device startup. All this ensures correct configurations on the device,
prevents configuration loss, and facilitates configuration migration.

8.3 Managing Configuration Files

8.3.1 Understanding Configuration Files

Configuration File Format

Configuration files use text format and must meet the following requirements:
● A configuration file can contain only configuration commands, view switching
commands, # symbols (used to switch to the system view), and the quit
command. When the device is loading a configuration file that contains other
types of commands, such as display commands used for querying, reset,
save, and ping commands used for maintenance, the return command, and
commands for upgrade compatibility, the device reports an error when
attempting to load such commands and continues to load other commands
supported in the configuration file.
● A configuration file cannot contain repeated commands.
● Each view is displayed with an indentation of one character.
● If commands in a configuration file need to be executed in a view, the
configuration file must also contain the command for entering the view.
● The configuration sequence and dependency must be correct.
● Interactive commands in a configuration file support only Y and N choices. Y
is the default choice, which is entered automatically during configuration
restoration.
● A configuration file must be saved to the root directory of the storage
medium, with a file name extension as .zip, .cfg, or .dat.
– A .cfg file is a text file, whose contents can be viewed directly. If a .cfg file
is specified as the configuration file, the system restores the commands in
the file one by one during device startup.
– A .zip file is compressed from a .cfg file and occupies less space. If a .zip
file is specified as the configuration file, the system first decompresses
the file into a .cfg file, and then restores the commands in the .cfg file
one by one during device startup.
– A .dat file is a binary file. If the startup software version and the .dat file
version are the same, the system restores all configurations at a time
without the need to restore the commands one by one, accelerating
device startup.

Configuration File Category

The following table lists the differences between the configurations loaded when
the device is running. These configurations fall into the following types: factory
configuration, preset configuration, current configuration, and next startup
configuration.

Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration 8 Configuration File Management Configuration

Type Description Command

Factory Factory configurations are basic -

configurati configurations provided for a
on new device. This type of
configurations enables a device
to start and operate correctly
when there is no configuration
file, or when the configuration
file is lost or damaged. When a
device starts with factory
configurations, it is considered
to start in unconfigured mode.
Factory configurations are
different from the default
command configurations. For
example, factory configurations
may contain the snetconf
server enable command, but
this command is not configured
by default. In this case, the
SNETCONF service is enabled
when the device starts with
factory configurations or
restores factory configurations.

Preset When a device is powered on, it Run the display startup

Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration 8 Configuration File Management Configuration

To use modified configurations as the next startup configurations, run the save
command to save them to the default storage medium.
NOTE

If a command is configured in an incomplete format, the system saves the command to the
configuration file in its complete format. As a result, the command may have more than
510 characters, which is the maximum length supported by the system. Such a command
cannot be restored after the system restarts.

8.3.3 Saving a Configuration File

Context
You can run commands to modify current device configurations, but these
modified configurations will be lost once the device restarts unless you save them
to the configuration file before restarting the device. Two methods are available
for saving configurations to a configuration file:
● Enable the system to automatically save configurations.
● Manually save the configurations.
Device configurations are stored in the configuration file of the storage medium.
During startup, the system reads the configuration file to restore configurations of
the device, and then saves the restored configurations to memory.
You can use the display saved-configuration command to check configurations in
the configuration file, and the display current-configuration command to check
those in memory.
When the device is running properly, the configurations in the configuration file
should be the same as those in memory. If you add, modify, or delete
configurations, the latest configurations are saved in memory, and will be different
from those in the configuration file. In this case, you can run the save command
to save the current configurations in memory to the configuration file.
When the device has not run properly during system startup, the configurations in
the configuration file are not completely restored in memory. If you run the save
command at this time, incomplete configurations in memory will override those in
the configuration file. As a result, some configurations may be lost.

Procedure
● Enable the system to automatically save configurations.

b. Configure the system to save the configurations at a scheduled time.

configuration file auto-save [ interval interval | delay delay-interval | cpu-limit cpu-usage ] *

The system does not automatically save the configurations in the

following scenarios when the scheduled time arrives:

▪ The system is writing the configuration file.

▪ The system is restoring device configurations.

▪ CPU usage is high.

c. (Optional) Configure server information, including the IP address of the
server where the configuration file is automatically saved, user name and
password, storage path, and mode for transmitting the configuration file
to the server.
configuration file auto-save backup-to-server server server-ip [ vpn-instance vpn-instance-
name ] transport-type { { ftp | sftp } [ port port-value ] user user-name password password |
tftp } [ path folder ]

NOTE

If the local storage medium does not have sufficient space or is damaged, or the
configuration file needs to be backed up, you can run this command to specify a file
server for saving the backup configuration file.
SFTP has higher security and is therefore recommended for saving the configuration
file to the file server.
The configuration file is saved on the server as a compressed package, named in the
[Link] [Link] format (for example,
[Link]). After decompression, the file with the file name
extension .cfg is the configuration file.
d. (Optional) Configure the function for uploading the configuration file at
a specific time point of a certain day every month.
configuration current backup-to-server monthly date date-value [ time time-value ]

● Manually save the configurations.

– Directly save the configuration file.
save [ configuration-file ]

The configuration file name extension must be .zip, .dat, or .cfg. If the
configuration file will be loaded during system startup, it must be stored
in the root directory of the storage medium.
If the configuration-file parameter is not specified, the system asks you
whether to name the configuration file [Link] when you save the
configuration file for the first time. The [Link] file is the default
configuration file and does not contain any configuration in the initial
state. If configurations are not saved for the first time, they will be saved
in the running configuration file. You can run the display startup
command to check the name of the running configuration file.
– Enter a password to save the configuration file.
save shareable-configuration configuration-file [ password ]

The device generates a key in the configuration file based on the

password entered by the user. When the configuration file is used next
time, the password must be entered for authentication.

NOTE

After the weak password dictionary maintenance function is enabled, the

passwords (which can be queried using the display security weak-password-
dictionary command) defined in the weak password dictionary cannot be
specified in this command.

----End

8.3.4 Specifying the Configuration File for Next Startup

Context
When the system restarts, it uses the specified configuration file to restore
configurations.

Before specifying the file for the next startup, you can run the display startup
command to view the current specified file.

If no configuration file is specified, the default configuration file [Link] will

be used for the next startup.

NOTE

Manually constructing a configuration file is not recommended because manual

construction is prone to file format errors. The format error may cause a failure to restore
configurations or an error during configuration restoration.
The configuration file for the next startup must exist and be saved in the root directory of
the storage medium.
After specifying the file for the next startup, you cannot run the save command without
parameters in the user view. If you run this command, the system uses the saved
configuration file instead of the specified configuration file for the next startup.

Procedure
● Configure the configuration file for the next startup.
startup saved-configuration configuration-file

● Configure the configuration file containing key information for the next
startup.
startup shareable-configuration configuration-file [ password ]

If the configuration file configured for the next startup contains key
information, you need to enter a password for authentication before using the
file.

----End

Verifying the Configuration

Run the display configuration recover-result command to check the
configuration restoration result after the restart and the failure cause.

A configuration file may contain a ciphertext encrypted using a system master key.
As a system master key is automatically and randomly generated by default,
different devices have different system master keys. The ciphertext in a
configuration file of a device cannot be decrypted on another device. As a result,
the ciphertext cannot be restored on another device and will be used as a
plaintext. To decrypt the ciphertext in the configuration file on another device,
perform the following operations.

Procedure
Step 1 Export the configuration file from device A.
1. Save the configuration file.
save shareable-configuration configuration-file [ password ]

2. Export the configuration file.

For details, see 8.3.11 Backing Up the Configuration File to an SFTP Server
or Client.

Step 2 On device B, reuse the configuration file exported from device A.

1. Copy the configuration file of device A to device B.

For details, see 8.3.16 Copying the Configuration File from an SFTP Server
or Client to the Device.
2. Configure the exported configuration file as the configuration file to be
loaded for the next startup of device B.
startup shareable-configuration configuration-file [ password ]

----End

Verifying the Configuration

● Run the display configuration recover-result command to check the
configuration restoration result after the restart and the failure cause.
● Run the display master-key configuration command to check whether the
system master key is the configured one.

8.3.6 Comparing Configuration Files

Context
You can compare the current configuration file with the specified configuration file
to check whether they are consistent and determine whether to use the specified
configuration file for the next startup.

NOTE

The configuration file name extension must be .cfg or .zip.

8.3.19 Clearing the Configuration File

Context
Clearing the configuration file is necessary in the following scenarios:
● The software and configuration file do not match after the device software is
upgraded.
● The configuration file is damaged, or an incorrect configuration file is loaded.

NOTICE

The reset saved-configuration command will clear the configuration file

used for the next startup. You are advised to run this command under the
guidance of technical support personnel.

To configure an interface on a device for other uses, you need to first delete
existing configurations from the interface one by one. If the interface has a large
number of configurations, this can take a long time. A single command is
available for deleting all configurations on an interface, reducing the maintenance
workload and simplifying the deletion operation.

Procedure
● Delete configurations for the next startup.
a. Cancel the configuration file specified for the next startup to restore the
default configurations.
reset saved-configuration

CloudEngine S3700, S5700, and S6700 Series
Switches
Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration 8 Configuration File Management Configuration

NOTE

After the configuration file specified for the next startup is canceled, the device
will use default configurations for startup, unless the startup saved-
configuration command is used to specify a new configuration file, or new
configurations have been saved to the configuration file for the next startup.
Before the reset saved-configuration command is executed, the system checks
whether the configuration files used for the current startup and the next startup
are the same:
● If they are the same, running the reset saved-configuration command clears
both configuration files, and the default configuration file will be used for the
next startup.
● If they are not the same, running the reset saved-configuration command
clears the configuration file for next startup, but the current configuration file
remains unchanged.
● If the current configuration file is empty and the configuration file for next
startup is not empty, running the reset saved-configuration command clears
the configuration file for next startup.
● If the configuration file for next startup is empty and the current
configuration file is not empty, after the reset saved-configuration
command is run, the system reports an error and does not clear any
configuration file. If you run the command to restart a device, addresses
configured for management interfaces on the device will become invalid, and
you must log in to the device through a console interface to re-configure
these addresses.
b. Restart the device to validate the configuration.
reboot fast

● Delete all configurations from an interface using one single command to

restore the default configurations.
clear configuration interface interface-type interface-number

NOTE

This command will delete all configurations of a specified interface. Exercise caution
when running this command.
Ensure that the specified interface type and number are correct. Otherwise, the
configurations of another interface may be deleted, causing service interruption.

If faults are caused by incorrect configurations, or if an unexpected configuration
result is generated on the network, you can roll back configurations.
A configuration rollback point needs to be generated using the following methods
before the configuration rollback function is used:
● To enable the time when a rollback point is automatically generated, run the
set save-configuration checkpoint daily time time command in the system
view.
● After a series of configuration commands are configured, run the commit
label label [ description description ] command. The system generates a user
label for the current configuration rollback point. You can specify description

CloudEngine S3700, S5700, and S6700 Series
Switches
Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration 8 Configuration File Management Configuration

in the command to add brief description for a configuration rollback point,

allowing rapid locating of a desired configuration rollback point.

NOTE

The system configuration takes effect in immediate mode. After you enter a command line
and press Enter, the system performs a syntax check. The configuration takes effect as soon
as it passes the syntax check, and you do not need to run the commit command to commit
the configuration.

Procedure
Step 1 Check the configuration rollback points and the latest configuration changes.

For details, see Table 8-5.

Table 8-5 Checking configuration rollback points

Operation Command Description

Check all configuration display configuration This command displays

rollback points. commit list [ verbose ] configuration rollback
[ number-of-commits | points and their details.
label ] To check a specified
number of latest
configuration rollback
points, specify number-
of-commits.

Step 2 Roll back the system to the historical configuration state by specifying a
configuration rollback point.
rollback configuration { to commit-id commit-id | to label label | to file file-name }

During configuration rollback, the created configuration will be deleted, the

deleted configuration will be re-created, or the modified configuration will be
restored to the original one.

● To roll back the system to the historical configuration state at a configuration

rollback point, specify commit-id commit-id.
● To roll back the system to the historical configuration state at a configuration
rollback point with a specified user label, specify label label.
● To roll back the system to the historical configuration state using a specified
configuration file, specify file file-name.

Step 3 (Optional) Set the user label for a configuration rollback point.
set configuration commit commit-id label label-string

By default, no user label is set for a configuration rollback point.

Step 4 (Optional) Delete the user label of the specified configuration rollback point or
the earliest configuration rollback point list generated in the system.
clear configuration commit { commit-id label | oldest number-of-commits }

Step 5 (Optional) Delete the configuration rollback point with a specified user label.

Example
A user logs in to the device and finds that the configuration is incorrect. The user
then rolls back the system using a backup configuration file.

1. Check the name of the backup configuration file on the current device.

2. Roll back the system using the backup configuration file.

<HUAWEI> rollback configuration to file [Link]
Warning: This operation will revert configuration changes to the file [Link].
Continue? [Y/N]:y

3. Verify the configuration.

Run the display current-configuration command to check whether the
incorrect configuration still exists.

Verifying the Configuration

● Run the display configuration rollback result command to view information
about the latest configuration rollback operation, including all prompts and
failure messages.
● Run the display configuration commit at commit-id command to view all
configuration information at the specified configuration rollback point.

8.3.21 Example: Specifying the Configuration File to Be

Loaded for Next Startup

Networking Requirements
As shown in Figure 8-1, the current system software cannot meet user needs. The
device must load new software version with more features. Then the device
software needs to be upgraded remotely.

Figure 8-1 Network diagram of specifying the configuration file to be loaded for
next startup

Configuration Guide - Basic Configuration 8 Configuration File Management Configuration

Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1. Upload the new system software to the root directory of the device.
2. Save the current configuration so that it remains effective after upgrade.
3. Specify the system software to be loaded for next startup.
4. Specify the configuration file to be loaded for next startup.
5. Restart the device to complete upgrade.

Procedure
Step 1 Upload the new system software to the root directory of the device.
1. Before configuration, run the display startup command to view the files for
next startup.
<HUAWEI> display startup
MainBoard:
Configured startup system software: flash:/[Link]
Startup system software: flash:/[Link]
Next startup system software: flash:/[Link]
Startup saved-configuration file: flash:/[Link]
Next startup saved-configuration file: flash:/[Link]
Startup paf file: default
Next startup paf file: default
Startup patch package: NULL
Next startup patch package: NULL
2. Configure the device as an SFTP server.
Upload the new system software to the device. This example uses SFTP to
transfer the system software. Configure the device as an SFTP server and
upload the system software to the device from the SFTP client. Ensure that
there is enough space in the storage medium before uploading files. If the
space is insufficient, delete unnecessary files from the storage medium.
# Configure an IP address for the SFTP server.

Step 2 Save the current configuration.

<SSH Server> save

The system displays a message indicating that the current configuration will be
saved and asks you whether to continue. Enter y and the configuration will be
saved to the device.
Step 3 Specify the system software to be loaded for next startup.
<SSH Server> startup system-software [Link]

Step 4 Specify the configuration file to be loaded for next startup.

<SSH Server> startup saved-configuration [Link]

NOTE

In step 1, you can run the display startup command to check the configuration file for next
startup. The message "Next startup saved-configuration file: flash:/[Link]" will be
displayed. This means that the [Link] configuration file has been specified for next
startup, so skip this step. To specify another file for next startup, perform this step.
