Cisco, ProCurve, Comware - Basic file management (save, copy. start-up, erase)

Save configuration with user defined name and Define the saved configuration as the startup-config.  

On Cisco switches:

Cisco-A# write memory

Cisco-A# copy running flash:interop-3a.cfg

Cisco-A# dir flash:

Cisco-A(config)#boot config flash:interop-3a.cfg

Cisco-A# show boot

Cisco-A# more flash:interop-3a.cfg

Entering “write mem” after will overwrite this configuration, so take care.

Cisco-A# reload

To set to factory

Cisco# erase startup-config

Cisco# reload

Say “No” if it asks to save the config file

On HP A-Series switches:

<HP> display startup ß (note the name)

<HP> save h3c_config.cfg

<HP> dir /all ß Displays all files in flash

<HP> more flash:/h3c_config.cfg

Change the current startup config file to the one you just saved.

<HP> startup saved h3c_config.cfg

<HP> display startup ß    (should now be h3c_config.cfg)

<HP> reboot

Note: Don’t ”save” here when prompted if you don’t want changes to be with the startup configuration file.

To set to factory

<HP> reset saved-configuration

<HP> reboot

Updating the flash and bootrom files

Display the firmware in use

<HP>dis boot-loader

 Slot 1

The current boot app is:  flash:/s5120ei-cmw520-r2202p06.bin

The main boot app is:     flash:/s5120ei-cmw520-r2202p06.bin

The backup boot app is:   flash:/s5120ei-cmw520-r2202p06.bin

Note: The backup and the main are the same. 

Remote Software Loading

You can telnet to the switch, and use FTP or TFTP to load BootROM and host software

remotely.

Remote Loading Using TFTP

Console to the switch and set up an ip address:

 [5500-EI]vlan 1

 [5500-EI-vlan1]quit 

 [5500-EI]interface Vlan-interface 1

 [5500-EI-Vlan-interface1]ip add 192.168.1.22 24

 [5500-EI-Vlan-interface1]quit 

[5500-EI]interface Giga 1/0/5

[5500-EI-Ethernet1/0/5]port access vlan 1

[5500-EI-Ethernet1/0/5]undo shut

Connect a PC to port giga 1/0/5, set the PC’s ip address to be on the same subnet as the switch, telnet to the switch, and execute the tftp commands to download the firmware from the remote TFTP server (with IP

address 192.168.1.105) to the switch.

Step 1: Download the software and bootrom to the switch using tftp commands.

<H3C> tftp 192.168.1.105 get s5120ei-cmw520-r2304p01.bin

Downloading file from remote tftp server, please wait......................................................................

<H3C> tftp 192.168.1.105 get S5120-EI.btm

Downloading file from remote tftp server, please wait......................................................................

Step 2: Update the BootROM program on the switch. (if needed…use ‘dis device’)

<H3C> bootrom update file S5120-EI.btm slot 1

This command will update BootRom file, Continue? [Y/N]y

Updating BootRom, please wait...

Step 3: Update the host software on the switch.

<H3C> boot-loader file s5120ei-cmw520-r2304p01.bin slot all main

<H3C> display boot-loader

Slot 1

The current boot app is: flash:/ s5120ei-cmw520-r2202p06.bin

The main boot app is: flash:/ s5120ei-cmw520-r2304p01.bin

The backup boot app is: flash:/ s5120ei-cmw520-r2202p06.bin

Step 4: Restart the switch.

<H3C> reboot

NOTE:

Before restarting the switch, make sure other configurations are all saved to avoid the loss of configuration information.

After the steps above, the BootROM and host software loading is completed. 

Pay attention to the following points:

• Host software loading takes effect only after you restart the switch with the reboot command.

• If the space of the flash memory is not enough, you can delete the useless files in the flash memory before software downloading.

• Power interruption is not allowed during software loading.

On HP E-Series switches:

HP-E# write mem

HP-E# show config-files

The config file name should be interop2a. Rename the file to interop3a.

HP-E# copy config interop2a config interop3a

HP-E# show config interop3a

To make this configuration the startup-config, enter this command:

HP-E(config)# startup-default config interop3a

HP-E# boot system flash primary config interop3a
