HP 2500 manual Do you want to save current configuration y/n?

Switch Memory and Configuration

Switch Memory and Configuration

Using the CLI To Implement Configuration Changes

Disables port 1 in the running configuration, which causes port 1 to block all traffic.

HP2512(config)# interface e 1 disable HP2512(config)# boot

Device will be rebooted, do you want to continue [y/n]? y

Press [Y] to continue the rebooting process.

You will then see this prompt.

Do you want to save current configuration [y/n]?

The above prompt means that one or more parameter settings in the running- config file differ from their counterparts in the startup-config file and you need to choose which config file to retain and which to discard.

■If you want to update the startup-config file to match the running-config file, press [Y] for "yes". (This means that the changes you entered in the running-config file will be saved in the startup-config file.)

■If you want to discard the changes you made to the running-config file so that it will match the startup-config file, then press [N] for "no". (This means that the switch will discard the changes you entered in the running-config file and will update the running-config file to match the startup-config file.)

N o t e	If you use the CLI to make a change to the running-config file, you must use
	the write memory command to save the change to the startup-config file. That
	is, if you use the CLI to change a parameter setting, but then reboot the switch
	from either the CLI or the menu interface without first executing the write
	memory command in the CLI, the current startup-config file will replace the
	running-config file, and any changes in the running-config file will be lost.
	Also, where a parameter setting is accessable from both the CLI and the menu
	interface, if you change the setting in the CLI, the new value will appear in the
	menu interface display for that parameter. However, only the write memory
	command in the CLI will actually save the change to the startup-config file.
	Using the Save command in the menu interface will not save a change made
	to the running config by the CLI.
	How To Reset the startup-config and running-config Files to the
	Factory Default Configuration. This command reboots the switch,
	replacing the contents of the current startup-config and running-config files
	with the factory-default startup configuration.
