FTP User Interface

Backing up the Router ConfigurationTo backup the router configuration settings:

1.Connect the router to the Ethernet network used by the host computer.

2.Start an FTP session using the router IP address:

ftp <IP address>

where IP address is the IP address of the router. The default router IP address is 1.1.1.1.

Note: You will need to specify the external directory location where your FTP utility is to store the backup configuration file.

3.Enter the user name and password.

The default user name is root and the default password is password.

HP recommends that the user name and password be changed from the default values.

4.Specify binary mode:

bin

5. Specify the filename (with the extension .cfg) using the get command:

get filename.cfg

The file will transfer to the user-specified location.

Note: When backing up a configuration file, the World Wide Name (WWN) values and Ethernet physical address (MAC address) values are not saved in the configuration file. All other configuration settings are saved.
