transport configuration A5120

[grenzo]

Hi,

I finished the configuration of an A5120 JG236a how can I copy the configuration to another same switch?

Thanks

Hi @grenzo !

First save current configuration with "save safely force", then check what is the file name with "display startup" (look for "Current startup saved-configuration file"). Then backup the file to remote tfp server with "backup startup-configuration to" command. On the second switch use "restore startup-configuration from" command to download the file from the TFTP server and then set it as the main startup-configuration with "startup saved-configuration <cfgfile> main" command. Then reboot the switch.

Hi,

Sorry but from CLI or browser ?

in cli mode it does not recognize the backup command....

where am i wrong?

Share the 'display version' output, please and I'll check if this command exists in the version your switch is running.

This command exists on older version 2222P01, so it must be there in yours 2222P11 too:

<HP>back
<HP>backup ?
  startup-configuration  Startup configuration

<HP>backup

Pay attention that this command is available only in the user-view (when cli prompt shows less than and more than symbols '<' and '>'). 

What do you see if you type 'backup' with space after the command and hit '?' key?

[grenzo]

OK All right...

Now I should remove the fixed Ip that I have set and enable the DHCP service, how to do it?

Thanks

[Ivan_B]

The fastest way is to read documentation. For example, in your case this guide should help - https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/docDisplay?docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-c03996979 "Configuring DHCP Client" section.

Sorry I read but I didn't understand.

I did:

[HP]interface Vlan-interface1
[HP-Vlan-interface1]ip address dhcp-alloc
[HP-Vlan-interface1]

..

[HP]display current-configuration interface vlan
#
interface Vlan-interface1
ip address dhcp-alloc
#
return
[HP]

------

how do i see if it got the IP?

[Ivan_B]

In order to check IP information of an interface Vlan-interface1 you can use following command:

display ip interface vlan1
