Greetings,
I have a number of 2960 switches and noticed strange behavior. All of them have the archive enabled:
archive
path tftp://tftp/cisco/$h-confg.
write-memory
However they leave files of different format on TFTP server:
ethelc-confg.Jan-16-11-44-28-1
etheld-confg..Jan-16-11-44-47-2
This is not even annoying but strange since all the software is equal:
Cisco IOS Software, C2960 Software (C2960-LANBASEK9-M), Version 15.0(2)SE5, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
Technical Support: http://www.cisco.com/techsupport

Compiled Fri 25-Oct-13 13:34 by prod_rel_team
ROM: Bootstrap program is C2960 boot loader
BOOTLDR: C2960 Boot Loader (C2960-HBOOT-M) Version 12.2(46r)SE2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)
What can make two of four switches add an extra dot in the filename?
Thanks in advance

I wrote all configs once again and all switches named files in the right way.
1 tftp://tftp/cisco/otheld-confg.Jan-11-17-52-12-0
2 tftp://tftp/cisco/otheld-confg..Jan-16-11-43-18-1
3 tftp://tftp/cisco/otheld-confg.Feb-13-15-09-31-2 <- Most Recent
It seem to be misconfiguration by someone, which wasn't noticed.
Sorry for bothering, everything seems to be alright.

Hello,
looking at the path, there is a '.' at the end, what if you leave that out ?
path tftp://tftp/cisco/$h-confg. <-- remove ending dot
