Restoring The Main Next-Startup Configuration File From A Tftp Server; Deleting A Next-Startup Configuration File - HP 10500 Series Configuration Manual

Restoring the main next-startup configuration file
from a TFTP server
To restore the main next-startup configuration file from a TFTP server, the device performs the following
operations:
• Downloads a configuration file from a TFTP server to the root directory of the default storage
medium on each MPU.
Specifies the file as the main next-startup configuration file.
•
Before restoring the next-startup configuration file, make sure the following requirements are met:
The server is reachable.
•
The server is enabled with TFTP service.
•
You have read and write permissions to the server.
•
To restore the main next-startup configuration file from a TFTP server:
Step
1. Restore the main next-startup
configuration file from a TFTP
server in user view.
2. (Optional.) Verify that the
specified configuration file has
been set as the main
next-startup configuration file.

Deleting a next-startup configuration file

CAUTION:
This task permanently deletes the next-startup configuration file from each MPU. Before performing this
task, back up the file as needed.
Delete a next-startup configuration file if one of the following events occurs:
After you upgrade system software, the file no longer matches the new system software.
•
The file is corrupt or not fully compatible with the device.
•
If both the main and backup next-startup configuration files are deleted, the device uses factory defaults
at the next startup.
To delete a file that is set as both main and backup next-startup configuration files, you must execute both
the reset saved-configuration backup command and the reset saved-configuration main command.
Using only one of the commands removes the specified file attribute instead of deleting the file.
For example, if the reset saved-configuration backup command is executed, the backup next-startup
configuration file setting is set to NULL. However, the file is still used as the main file. To delete the file,
you must also execute the reset saved-configuration main command.
Perform the following task in user view:
Command
restore startup-configuration from
src-addr src-filename
display startup
display saved-configuration
