Configuring Configuration Rollback; Configuration Task List - HP 10500 Series Configuration Manual

Task
Save the running configuration to
a configuration file in the root
directory of each MPU's storage
medium and specify the file as the
startup configuration file.

Configuring configuration rollback

To replace the running configuration with the configuration in a configuration file without rebooting the
device, use the configuration rollback function. This function helps you revert to a previous configuration
state or adapt the running configuration to different network environments.
The configuration rollback function compares the running configuration against the specified
replacement configuration file and handles configuration differences as follows:
If a command in the running configuration is not in the replacement file, the rollback function
•
executes the undo form of the command.
If a command in the replacement file is not in the running configuration, the rollback function adds
•
the command to the running configuration.
• If a command has different settings in the running configuration and the configuration file, the
rollback function replaces the running command setting with the setting in the configuration file.
To facilitate configuration rollback, the configuration archive function was developed. This function
enables the system to save the running configuration automatically at regular intervals as checkpoint
references.

Remarks
This command saves the configuration
to a file on the default storage medium.
For reliable configuration saving, HP
recommends that you specify the safely
keyword.
If you specify only the safely keyword,
the command saves the configuration to
the main startup configuration file for the
MDC where you are logged in.
If the force keyword is specified, the
command saves the configuration to the
existing configuration file.
If the force keyword is not specified, the
command allows you to specify a new
next-startup configuration file.
The context-all keyword is not supported
in this release.
