using the HP6400 configuration files found in the HP6400
subdirectory (that is, “HP6400_subA1.cfg”, “HP6400_subB1.cfg”).
About Cisco Switches
The Network Configuration Assistant creates configuration files for the Cisco switches. Provide
these configuration files to the Cisco switch administrator when configuring a Cisco switch. The
files created by the Network Configuration Assistant work as generated once they are copied to
the Cisco switch.
Note that uploading a configuration file to a Cisco switch is different from uploading files to HP
switches. Once you have connected your laptop to the Cisco switch through the serial port, and
enabled the configuration operation, you may copy and paste the configuration file into the
session to configure the switch. There are other ways to upload configuration files to the Cisco
switch; these methods may be used by the Cisco administrator if they so choose.

up authentication through the configuration assistant, each of those procedures can be done at a
later time.
