Overview
Managing Configuration Files Using a Text Editor
7. Install the configuration.
Copy the edited configuration file to startup-config.
Syntax: copy <source location> <source filename>
<destination location> <destination filename>
ProCurve# copy flash configuration.txt flash startup-config
The router will create the startup-config file and save the edited configu-
ration to the file.
8. Reboot the router.
Enter reload from the enable mode context. When it prompts you to save
the system configuration, press
n.
Note Be careful. If you press y when asked to save the system configuration, the
new startup configuration you just entered will be erased and replaced by the
current running configuration.
Press y when asked whether you want to proceed.
The router will boot up using the new configuration.
Configuration File Transfer Using a TFTP Server
1. Create a base configuration. Then copy the base configuration to a file.
Syntax: copy <source> <base config filename> <destination> <destination file-
name.txt>
For example, you might enter:
ProCurve# copy flash startup-config flash routerB.txt
Replace <source> with the location of the base configuration file. If you
have a compact flash card and the file is saved on compact flash, enter
cflash. Otherwise, enter flash. Because you will be editing this file in a
text editor, give the file a .txt extension.
