Software Overview
When the command is entered, the ProCurve Secure Router first tries to save
these changes to a startup-config file on compact flash. If no compact flash
card is inserted into the slot on the back panel, the router saves the changes
to the startup-config file that is stored in internal flash. If no startup-config file
exists on either the compact flash or internal flash memories, the router
creates the file and saves the configuration to it.
AutoSynch™ Technology
The AutoSynch feature was first released as a free update in the J03_01.biz
Secure Router OS. This feature ensures that the Secure Router OS (SROS.BIZ)
and the startup-config file stored on compact flash are identical to those stored
on internal flash. AutoSynch technology affects only the SROS.BIZ and star-
tup-config files; any other files that you intend to keep on the compact flash
drive will need to be manually copied from your router’s internal flash to the
compact flash card.
When you save your configurations, the ProCurve Secure Router saves the
running-config to the startup-config stored on the compact flash. If the auto-
synch command is enabled, when you save your current configuration to the
startup-config, the file is saved to both compact flash and internal flash at the
same time.
AutoSynch technology ensures that you always have a backup copy of your
configuration file and the version of the Secure Router OS you are using. If a
hardware failure should occur, you simply contact ProCurve Networking to
get a new part or even a new unit (if that is required). Then you replace the
part, insert the compact flash card, and power up the router. The router
automatically loads the Secure Router OS and the startup-config from the
compact flash card.
Likewise, if the Secure Router OS or the configuration file becomes corrupted,
you have up-to-date backup copies, so downtime is confined to the time it
takes to load these copies. This is especially helpful if the Secure Router OS
you are using is no longer available on the ProCurve Networking Web site
(because subsequent versions have been released).
Secure Router OS Hierarchy
The ProCurve Secure Router OS is organized into two security modes and
then further organized into configuration modes. Each of these modes allows
you to access and configure a separate aspect of your router’s operation. This
OS hierarchy creates levels of security by limiting certain functions to
authorized users.
