Backing Up System Configuration Settings
HP strongly recommends saving the configuration after the initial configuration
changes and periodically thereafter.
FTP must be used on Windows workstations to back up the system configuration.
The FTP server must be running before an upload can occur. Use the RSHD
service or FTP on a UNIX machine.
Note:
The two supplied utilities, RSHD.EXE and CAT.EXE currently do not support
uploads for Windows, only downloads. These utilities are available from the HP support
web site:
Execute these steps to upload a backup copy of the configuration settings to a host
computer.
1.
Verify that the RSHD service (on a UNIX machine) or the FTP service (on a
Windows or UNIX machine) is running on the host workstation.
2.
Log in to the switch as the admin user.
3.
Issue the following command:
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.
If only
configupload
is entered, the system prompts you for each parameter,
as follows:
switch:admin> configupload
Server Name or IP Address [host]: 123.45.678.901
User Name [user]: kelev
File Name [config.txt]: switch1
