Once a configuration is activated, it becomes the current configuration. There can be only
one current configuration.
When activating a network configuration that contains many VLAN subnets, the process can
take many minutes. During this time the GUI will continue to show the previous configuration
until the new one is successfully applied. During activation, you can run the CLI command
network activate status to monitor the activation progress.
Once you have finished creating a network configuration and whenever you modify a network
configuration, be sure to use the StoreOnce CLI to create a system configuration save and
restore file, using the StoreOnce CLI command, config save devices.
Refer to the HP StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide for the full range of network and config save
and restore commands.

Deciding whether to use the StoreOnce CLI or the StoreOnce GUI

Most network configuration tasks may be carried out from the StoreOnce GUI, as described in
Network configuration, how to use StoreOnce CLI commands (page
as described in
in Flight encryption using IPSec is only possible via the StoreOnce CLI.

At installation

HP StoreOnce , 4700, 4500, 2900 and 2700 Backup systems support DHCP and the simplest
configuration at installation is to connect to LAN port 1 and log on to the StoreOnce GUI using
the name of the StoreOnce Backup system. If this address option is not supported on your DHCP
network or you have not connected to LAN port 1, you will need to connect to the local console
and query the DHCP-assigned address using the StoreOnce CLI command, net show status
all.
On HP StoreOnce , 4700, 4500, 2900 and 2700 Backup systems that are not in a DHCP
environment, the recommended option is to use the StoreOnce CLI command, net set wizard,
for basic configuration, and the StoreOnce GUI to set up more complex configuration settings.

After installation

Use the HP StoreOnce Management GUI, as described in the HP StoreOnce Backup system User
Guide, or the StoreOnce CLI, as described in the HP StoreOnce CLI Reference Guide, to copy a
configuration and make changes to it before validating and activating the configuration. A major
benefit of using the StoreOnce GUI, particularly if configuring multiple VLANs, is that you can save
the configuration as you work on it.
The Network Configuration tools are under HP StoreOnce — Device Configuration. Expand Network
Configuration in the navigation pane.

Physical ports and IP addresses

Before using the wizard or the GUI to configure the network, you should determine which subnets
you wish to configure and how they will use available ports on the StoreOnce Backup system.
1. Define how many subnets you wish to support for backup to the StoreOnce Backup system,
the speed at which you wish data to be transferred and whether you require ports to be
bonded.
2. This will determine how many physical port connections you require and whether the subnet
should be configured to use 1 Gbit or 10 Gbit ethernet ports.
NOTE:
one IPv6 subnet.
