The show logging command with the end argument locks the terminal window to display log data much like the UNIX tail -f command. To stop displaying log entries and resume control of the terminal screen, enter <Ctrl> C. When using the show logging command without the end argument, log text is displayed a page at a time, as set by the terminal length parameter.

Saving Configuration Files

You should save the current configuration as you achieve major configuration milestones so it is recreated when the chassis reboots. If you do not save the current configuration, all the changes you make during the current CLI session are lost when the system reboots.

The file used to configure the chassis upon reboot is startup-configin the config file-system. If you want to restore the configuration to its factory-default, delete the startup-configfile.

Saving for System Reboot

In the CLI, to save the current configuration so it is used to reboot the system,

enter the copy and running-configcommands:

HP-IB# copy system:running-config config:startup-config

You may abbreviate the command line by omitting system: and config: because these two are internally aliased to system:running-config and config:startup-config, respectively.

HP-IB# copy running-config startup-config

Saving the Backup Configuration

The file is stored in the config file-system and will not be used to boot the system.

In the CLI, to save the current configuration so it is stored in the file-system but not used to boot the system, enter

HP-IB# copy running-config config:fname

where fname is any name except startup-config.

Specifying the Configuration to Use at System Reboot

Specify a New Boot Image Through the CLI

After a system-image is installed on the system chassis, specify the system-image to use the next time it reboots. Use the boot-configcommand with the name of the system-image.

1.Find the name of your new system image by listing all the image files on the chassis. Enter the dir image command.

HP-IB# dir image
