Page 106: Configuring Tftp
Configuring TFTP Overview TFTP provides functions similar to those provided by FTP, but it is less complex than FTP in interactive access interface and authentication. It is more suitable in environments where complex interaction is not needed between client and server. TFTP uses the UDP port 69 for data transmission.
Page 107: Configuring The Tftp Client
This mode is more secure but consumes more memory. HP recommends using the secure mode or, if you use the normal mode, specify a filename not existing in the current directory as the target filename when downloading the boot file or the startup configuration file.

Page 145: Configuring Issu
Configuring ISSU Overview ISSU enables software upgrade and ensures continuous packet forwarding. As shown in Figure 2, to ensure high availability for user networks, cross-device link aggregation is configured on the IRF member switches at the distribution layer so that every three physical links with the same color between the IRF member switches and access switches are aggregated as one logical link.
Page 146: Issu Process
ISSU process ISSU follows a strict procedure, as shown in Figure Figure 3 ISSU flow chart Do not modify the current configuration, plug or unplug cables connected to IRF ports, or delete or modify the boot file during ISSU. Otherwise, an upgrade failure may occur. To upgrade the boot files of IRF member switches through ISSU, the member switches must form a ring topology.

Page 180: Automatic Configuration
Automatic configuration Overview Automatic configuration enables a device without any configuration file to automatically obtain and execute a configuration file during startup. Automatic configuration simplifies network configuration, facilitates centralized management, and reduces maintenance workload. To implement automatic configuration, the network administrator saves configuration files on a server and a device automatically obtains and executes a specific configuration file.
Page 181: How Automatic Configuration Works
How automatic configuration works To implement automatic configuration, you must configure the DHCP server, DNS server and TFTP server, but you do not need to perform any configuration on the device that performs automatic configuration. The configuration of these servers varies with device models and is omitted. Before starting the device, connect only the interface needed in automatic configuration to the network.
Page 182: Using Dhcp To Obtain An Ip Address And Other Configuration Information
Using DHCP to obtain an IP address and other configuration information Address acquisition process As mentioned before, a device sets the first up interface as the DHCP client during startup. The DHCP client broadcasts a DHCP request, where the Option 55 field specifies the information that the client wants to obtain from the DHCP server such as the configuration file name, domain name and IP address of the TFTP server, and DNS server IP address.
Page 183: Obtaining The Configuration File From The Tftp Server
address pools, you must obtain client IDs. To obtain a device’s client ID, use display dhcp server ip-in-use to view address binding information on the DHCP server after the device obtains its IP address through DHCP. Obtaining the configuration file from the TFTP server File types CAUTION: There must be a space before the keyword ip host.
Page 184 Obtaining the configuration file Figure 4 Obtain the configuration file A device obtains its configuration file by using the following workflow: If the DHCP response contains the configuration file name, the device requests the specified • configuration file from the TFTP server. If the DHCP response does not contain the configuration file name, the device tries to get its host name •...
Page 185: Executing The Configuration File
After broadcasting a TFTP request, the device selects the TFTP server that responds first to obtain the configuration file. If the requested configuration file does not exist on the TFTP server, the request operation fails, and the device removes the temporary configuration and starts up with factory defaults. If the device and the TFTP server reside in different subnets, you must configure the UDP Helper function for the gateway to change the broadcast TFTP request from the device to a unicast packet and forward the unicast packet to the specified TFTP server.
