How to Use Configuration Replace and Configuration Rollback
Creating a Configuration Archive
No prerequisite configuration is needed to use the configure replace command. Using the configure replace
command in conjunction with the Cisco IOS configuration archive and the archiveconfig command is optional

configuration archive.
