Switch Memory and Configuration

Using the Menu and Web Browser Interfaces To Implement Configuration Changes

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.

Syntax: erase startup-config

For example:

HPswitch(config)# erase startup-config

Configuration will be deleted and device rebooted, continue [y/n]?

Figure 6-3.Resetting to the Factory-Default Configuration

Press [Y] to replace the current configuration with the factory default config­ uration and reboot the switch. Press [N] to retain the current configuration and prevent a reboot.

Using the Menu and Web BrowserInterfaces To Implement ConfigurationChanges

The menu and web browser interfaces offer these advantages:

Quick, easy menu or window access to a subset of switch configuration features (See the “Menu Features List” on page 3-14and the web browser “General Features” list on page.)

Viewing several related configuration parameters in the same screen, with their default and current settings

Immediately changing both the running-config file and the startup-config file with a single command

Configuration Changes Using the Menu Interface

You can use the menu interface to simultaneously save and implement a subset of switch configuration changes without having to reboot the switch. That is, when you save a configuration change in the menu interface, you simulta­ neously change both the running-config file and the startup-config file.
