Configuring the GbE Interconnect Switch using the
Command Line Interface
Overview
This chapter describes how to configure the GbE Interconnect Switch from the command line
interface (CLI).
Saving Changes
The GbE Interconnect Switch has two types of memory: dynamic RAM and non-volatile
RAM (NVRAM).
Restarting the GbE Interconnect Switch erases all configuration settings in RAM and reloads
the stored settings from NVRAM. Thus, it is necessary to save all configuration setting
changes to NVRAM before rebooting the GbE Interconnect Switch.
After the configuration settings have been saved to NVRAM, they become the current
runtime settings for the GbE Interconnect Switch. These settings are then used every time the
GbE Interconnect Switch is rebooted.
Use the following command to retain any configuration changes permanently in NVRAM:
Command Description
cfg save
Saves current configuration settings to the switch NVRAM
IMPORTANT: After saving your final configuration, HP highly recommends that you save the
configuration image to TFTP server storage. Refer to the “Initiating a TFTP Upload for Log File or
Configuration File” section later in this chapter for more information.
Use the following command to display the current configuration settings:
Command Description
cfg show
Displays current configuration settings
