Some configurations loss after restart the switch

[Lion-Heart]

Hi All 

I have face strange issue there are 5406 & 2610 switches. There are few modifications done to the switches nothing special disabling telnet,web management and enabling SSH and HTTPS management.  There are sudden power failures in the network and we have identify that there are some configurations missing specially the VLANs, Some SNMP settings.This occures after restart the switch too.

After doing some annalists I have found that 

Previously in the switches we have setup the following parameters.

snmp-server host 10.89.32.4 public

snmp-server host 10.89.10.120 public

But with the standardization  we had to Add few more lines to send the SNMP details to 10.89.10.112 server. With the new modifications to the switches following is the current running and startup coffin.

snmp-server host 10.89.32.4 community "public"

snmp-server host 10.89.10.120 community "public"

snmp-server host 10.89.10.112 community "SDD|0*(#@{RW}"

Once we add the 3rd line  after the restart configurations loss. Any one have idea about this or anyone face silmiiler kind of issue and is there any way to overcome this issue.

Another thinking I need to highlight , this happens  even new switch not connected to the network . So Its clear that  this is not because of the  Network Cus I already  tried changing the IP and string to different parameters after disconnecting

too.

same thing happens the old and latest firmware .... 

may be some bug????

I can only repeat my usual advice: if it's a reproducable bug in the latest released firmware, raise a bug report with HP. If you're lucky, it may be fixed in the latest unrelased firmware, if not at least it'll get into the system.

Try choosing a SNMP community without any special characters in it.  If that works, try to figure out which special characters are causing the configuration to parse badly during boot.
