Procurve 2626 tftp command-line

[Rizal-DE]

Hi,

I have a Procurve 2626 running H.10.83. I'm trying to get it to upload a backup of it's running-config and restore it to the running-config.

I use the command
# copy tftp command-line 192.168.1.102 sw_conf unix

to grab the config file from my linux tftp server. It prompts me to download the file and run the commands, I hit 'y', and see the commands run.

However, the state of the running-config is not changed.

What am I missing here.

Actually,

The it seems the file had crlf characters in it which caused errors on upload. HOwever, I have a different issue.

It seems that uploading commands are limited to access lists.

"Command files are limited to access-list commands"

Is it possible to upload commands to the running config? e.g to change vlans, iface names, etc...

Thanks,

Hi,

It depends on what you're trying to achieve. If you just want an easy method of uploading fixed config changes without rebooting the switch then you should take a look at using procurve manager plus.

Hi Rizal

You might want to try the following for the 2610

Backup
copy startup tftp 192.168.1.102 sw_conf unix

restore
copy tftp startup 192.168.1.102 sw_conf unix

>>> However, the state of the running-config is not changed. <<<
with the command in the above document, the saved-config is copied to the startup-config file. A reload will be needed.
You may be asked to save the running-config:
!!! do not save the running-config, as this will overwritte tftp-copied file !!!

with your command >>>copy tftp command-line 192.168.1.102 sw_conf unix <<<
the tftp-copied file may be copied to flash but named named "command-line", not the startup-config!

NB! when trying the same copy to the running-config, it will NOT replace, but be merged with the current running-config.
Possibly this is what you found about access-lists?
