Next-Startup Configuration File Redundancy; Startup With A Configuration File; Fips Compliance - HP MSR Series Configuration Manual

Commands are saved in their complete form.
•
• The commands are listed 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
•
(#).
A 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 not modifying the content and format of the
configuration file.

Next-startup configuration file redundancy

You can specify one main next-startup configuration file and one backup next-startup configuration file
for redundancy. If a configuration file is not assigned the main or backup attribute, its file attribute is
NULL.
At startup, the device tries to start up with the main configuration file. If the main configuration file is
corrupted or unavailable, the device tries the backup configuration file. If the backup configuration file is
corrupted or unavailable, the device starts up with the factory defaults.
You can specify a main or backup next-startup configuration file directly (see
file for the next
configuration").
For high availability, do not specify a configuration file as both the main and backup configuration files.

Startup with a configuration file

The device selects the configuration file to load at startup, as follows:
1. If the specified main startup configuration file exists, the device starts up with this configuration file.
2. If the specified main startup configuration file does not exist but the backup startup configuration
file exists, the device starts up with the backup startup configuration file.
3. If neither the main nor the backup startup configuration file exists, the device starts up with the
factory defaults.

FIPS compliance

Table 23 shows the support of devices for 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.
