  • 1.  Restoring a Running Config on 3500yl and 5406zl

    Posted Nov 13, 2012 09:15 AM

    We have a number of 3500yl and 5406zl Procurve switches and I have saved all of their running configurations in text files.

     

    What is the step-by-step procedure to restore the switches' configurations from these text files?

    Hi,

     

    You could restore the backup/restore via USB if the switches have the USB port by doing the following,

     

    switch# copy startup-config usb <file name>  (to back it up)

     

    switch# copy usb startup-config <file name> (to restore)

     

    or

     

    If using PCM you can backup/restore from there.

    A good source of info, the HP Networking and Cisco CLI Reference Guide. A free CLI ref of ProVision, Comware5, and Cisco in side-by-side comparison. Not all inclusive, but alot of the "daily" config needs.  ....and it's free!

    Also good if you have a single platform :-)

    Look at Chapter 4 Configuration File Management.
