Automatic Configuration Examples; Automatic Configuration Using Tftp Server - HP 10500 Series Configuration Manual

If a device does not find a next-start configuration file locally, it starts the automatic configuration
process to obtain a configuration file. If one attempt fails, the device waits 30 seconds and then
automatically starts the process again. To stop the process, press Ctrl+C or Ctrl+D.
After obtaining a configuration file, the device automatically executes the configuration file.
2. Use the save command to save the running configuration.
The device does not save the obtained configuration file locally. If you do not save the running
configuration, the device must use the automatic configuration feature again after a reboot.
For more information about the save command, see Fundamentals Command Reference.
