Specifying A Next-Startup Configuration File; Backing Up The Main Next-Startup Configuration File To A Tftp Server - HP 12500 Configuration Manual

A command (for example, a hardware-dependent command) cannot be deleted, overwritten, or
•
undone due to system restrictions.
• The commands in different views are dependent on each other.
Commands or command settings that the device does not support cannot be added to the running
•
configuration.

Specifying a next-startup configuration file

CAUTION:
In an IRF fabric, use the undo startup saved-configuration command with caution. This command can
cause an IRF split after the IRF fabric or an IRF member reboots.
You can specify a .cfg configuration file as a main or backup next-startup configuration file when using
the save [ safely ] [ backup | main ] [ force ] command to save the running configuration.
Alternatively, you can execute the startup saved-configuration cfgfile [ backup | main ] command to
specify a configuration file as the main or backup next-startup configuration file. When performing this
task, follow these guidelines:
In standalone mode, make sure the specified configuration file is valid and saved to the root
•
directory of both the active and standby MPUs' storage media.
In IRF mode, make sure the specified configuration file is valid and saved to the root directory of all
•
MPUs' storage media in the IRF fabric.
If neither backup nor main is specified, this command sets the configuration file as the main
•
next-startup configuration file.
• Even though the main and backup next-startup configuration files can be the same one, specify
them as separate files for high availability.
The undo startup saved-configuration command changes the attribute of the main or backup
•
next-startup configuration file to NULL instead of deleting the file.
To specify a next-startup configuration file, perform the following task in user view:
Task
Specify the next-startup
configuration file.
Backing up the main next-startup configuration file
to a TFTP server

have read and write permissions.
