Backing Up System Configuration Settings
HP strongly recommends saving the configuration after the initial configuration is
completed and periodically thereafter.
The FTP or the RSHD protocols may be used to backup the system configuration.
Note:
The two supplied utilities,
RSHD.EXE
and
CAT.EXE
are available from the HP
support website at
http://www.hp.com.
Use these steps to upload a backup copy of the configuration settings to a host
computer.
1. Verify that the RSHD service or the FTP service is running on the host
computer.
2. Log in to the switch as the admin user.
3. At the command line, enter:
CONFIGUPLOAD HOSTIPADDR USER PATH_FILENAME PASSWORD
where
HOSTIPADDR
is the IP address of the host computer,
USER
is the User
ID used to log into this computer,
PATH_FILENAME
is the path location and
filename of the configuration file, and
PASSWORD
is the password for the User
ID specified.
Note:
The password operand is required only if you are using FTP.
If only
CONFIGUPLOAD
is entered, the system will prompt you for each
parameter, as shown in the following example:
switch:admin> configupload
Server Name or IP Address [host]: www.xxx.yyy.zzz
User Name [user]: admin
File Name [config.txt]: switch1
Protocol (RSHD or FTP) [rshd]: ftp
Password:
Upload Complete
