Switch Memory and Configuration
Using the CLI To Implement Configuration Changes
If you use the CLI to change a parameter setting, and then execute the
command without first executing the
change, the switch prompts you to specify whether to save the changes in the
current running-config file. For example:
ProCurve(config)# interface e 1 disable
ProCurve(config)# boot
Device will be rebooted, do you want to continue [y/n]? y
Do you want to save current configuration [y/n]?
Figure 6-2. Boot Prompt for an Unsaved Configuration
The above prompt means that one or more parameter settings in the running­
config file differ from their counterparts in the startup-config file and you need
to choose which config file to retain and which to discard.

If you use the CLI to make a change to the running-config file, you should
either use the
a reboot (figure 6-6-2, above) to save the change to the startup-config file. That
is, if you use the CLI to change a parameter setting, but then reboot the switch
from either the CLI or the menu interface without first executing the
memory
running-config file, and any changes in the running-config file will be lost.

change in the menu interface. Also, the menu interface displays the current
running-config values. Thus, where a parameter setting is accessible from both
the CLI and the menu interface, if you change the setting in the CLI, the new

If you want to update the startup-config file to match the running-config
file, press [Y] for "yes". (This means that the changes you entered in the
running-config file will be saved in the startup-config file.)
If you want to discard the changes you made to the running-config file so
that it will match the startup-config file, then press
