Viewing Log Files
The contents of the active log-file may be viewed using the show logging and more commands. The show
logging command displays the entire active log-file or log entries as they are being entered in the active
log-file. The more command displays the contents of a specified log file, including the active log-file.
It is recommended you set the terminal page length to 0 when using the end argument. Otherwise, you will
have to keep pressing the
space bar to continue each time the maximum display length is reached. Refer to
“show logging” to set the number of lines displayed as you scroll through the log data.
NOTE: Do not change the window size after you have set the page length; changing the window size would
cause the terminal length to be overwritten by the actual size of the window.
NOTE You cannot view the compressed GNU-zip (.gz) log files that reside on the controller. You must
upload the files to a network host, then unzip them and view them on the host.
To display the tail-end of the active log-file and display new log entries as they occur,
Enter the show command with the logging and end keywords.
HP-IB# show logging end

membership change
The show logging command with the end argument locks the terminal window to display log data much like
the UNIX tail -f command. To stop displaying log entries and resume control of the terminal screen, enter
<Ctrl> C. When using the show logging command without the end argument, log text is displayed a page a
time, as set by the terminal length parameter.
Saving Configuration Files
You should save the current configuration as you achieve major configuration milestones so it is recreated
when the chassis reboots. If you do not save the current configuration, all the changes you make during the
current CLI session are lost when the system reboots.
The file used to configure the chassis upon reboot is startup-config in the config file-system. If you want to
restore the configuration to its factory-default, delete the startup-config file.
Saving for System Reboot
In the CLI, to save the current configuration so it is used to reboot the system:
Step 1. Enter the copy and running-config commands:
HP-IB# copy system:running-config config:startup-config
