Configuration File Format And Content; Fips Compliance; Saving The Running Configuration - HP 5830 Series Configuration Manual

c. If you have not specified a backup startup configuration file, or the specified backup startup
configuration file is not available, the device starts up with the default configuration file (factory
defaults). If a parameter is not included in the default configuration file, its initial setting is
loaded.

Configuration file format and content

IMPORTANT:
To run on the device, a configuration file must meet the content and format requirements of the device. To
ensure a successful configuration loading at startup, use a configuration file that was automatically
created on the device or created by using the save command. If you edit the configuration file, make sure
all edits are compliant with the requirements of the device.
A configuration file must meet the following requirements:
• All commands are saved in their complete form.
Commands are sorted in sections by view, typically in this order: system view, interface view,
•
protocol views, and user interface view.
Sections are separated with one or more blank lines or comment lines that start with a pound sign
•
(#).
• The configuration file ends with the word return.
You can execute the save command to save the running configuration to a configuration file. To make
sure the configuration file can be loaded, HP recommends that you not edit the content and format of the
configuration file.

FIPS compliance

In Release 1 1 18 and later versions, the device supports the FIPS mode that complies with NIST FIPS 140-2
requirements. Support for features, commands, and parameters might differ in FIPS mode and non-FIPS
mode. For more information about FIPS mode, see Security Configuration Guide.

Saving the running configuration

To make configuration changes take effect at the next startup, save the running configuration to the
startup configuration file to be used at the next startup before the device reboots.
