Setting Up a Compact Flash Card From Which to Boot the

Newly shipped ProCurve Secure routers have an internal flash that contains

two SROS software files:

The SROS.BIZ and J0X_0X.biz files are identical. The J0X_0X.biz file reflects

the version number of the software, such as J04_01.biz. This file has then been

resaved as SROS.BIZ.

Internal flash also contains the startup-config file. At this point, the startup-

config file contains the default configuration for the router. Once you have

configured your router and saved the configurations, the new startup-config

file will allow the router to boot up with the configurations you have made.

To set up a new compact flash card so that the router can boot from it, insert

the card into the slot provided on the back panel of the router and copy the

following files from flash memory to compact flash:

startup-config

After you copy the files to a compact flash card, take the card to any ProCurve

Secure Router. Unless its boot process has been altered, the router will

automatically boot from the software and startup-config file stored on

When ProCurve Networking releases new software, part of the update process

will include renaming the new file as SROS.BIZ and copying the new file to

compact flash and to internal flash. When you need to know the version of

software the router is using, the show version command will display the exact

version. (This and other show commands are described later in this chapter.)

When the ProCurve Secure Router loads the startup-config, it executes it line

by line as the running-config. As you make configuration changes, these

changes are held in RAM. Because RAM is cleared every time the router is

powered down, you must save any changes that you want to keep to the

startup-config file.
