Management and Configuration Guide K/KA/KB.15.15

When executed from the configuration mode, enables or disables USB autorun on
the switch.
Use the encryption-key keyword to configure or remove an encryption-key (a
base-64 encoded string.) The encryption key is a prerequisite for enabling autorun
in secure-mode. Encryption is regarded only when the AutoRun file is also signed
by an authentic source.
Use the secure-mode keyword to enable or disable secure mode for autorun.
(Default: Enabled—or disabled if a password has been set)
Viewing autorun configuration information
The show autorun command displays autorun configuration status information, as shown in the
following example.
HP Switch(config)# show autorun

Downloading switch software
HP Switch periodically provides switch software updates through the HP Switch Networking website.
For more information, see the support and warranty booklet shipped with the switch, or
visitWWW.HP.Com/Networking/Support and click on Software updates.
NOTE: This manual uses the terms switch software and software image to refer to the
downloadable software files the switch uses to operate its networking features. Other terms
sometimes include Operating System, or OS.
Switch software download rules
• Switch software that you download via the menu interface always goes to primary flash.
• After a software download, you must reboot the switch to implement the new software. Until
a reboot occurs, the switch continues to run on the software it was using before the download.
NOTE: Downloading new switch software does not change the current switch configuration. The
switch configuration is contained in separate files that can also be transferred. See “Transferring
switch configurations” (page 279).
In most cases, if a power failure or other cause interrupts a flash image download, the switch
reboots with the image previously stored in primary flash. In the unlikely event that the primary
image is corrupted (which may occur if a download is interrupted by a power failure), the switch
goes into boot ROM mode. In this case, use the boot ROM console to download a new image to
primary flash.
Troubleshooting TFTP download failures
When using the menu interface, if a TFTP download fails, the Download OS (Operating System,
or software) screen indicates the failure.
