Archive Command

[Patrick McHenry]

Hi,

I've added the archive command with some success. With the last switch I'm adding it to I'm having some problems. I entered the config as I have for the others but, it wouldn't seem to write to the file even though it looked correct so, I decided to enter it again and got this message:

ACB13(config-archive)#path tftp://Main_Campus/ACB1/ACB13/ACB13

Archive is being written, cannot change path now - please try again later.

Any suggestions? Is there a way to kill archive that is being written?

Thanks, Pat.

Hi,

can you try removing the path and try adding it again.

following are the outputs from my lab device

cisco_2#sh archive

Archive feature not enabled

cisco_2#conf ter

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

cisco_2(config)#archive

cisco_2(config-archive)#path tftp://test3

cisco_2(config-archive)#exit

cisco_2(config)#do wr

Building configuration...

[OK]

cisco_2(config)#do sh archi

The maximum archive configurations allowed is 14.

The next archive file will be named tftp://test3--0
