IPv6 Management Features
IP Preserve for IPv6
; J8697A Configuration Editor; Created on release #K.14.01
hostname "ProCurve"
time daylight-time-rule None

*
Entering an ip preserve statement as the last line in a
configuration file stored on a TFTP server allows you to download
*
and execute the file as the startup-config file on an IPv6 switch.
*
When the switch reboots, the configuration settings in the
password manager
downloaded file are implemented without changing the IPv6
password operator
address and gateway assigned to the switch as shown in Figure
ip preserve 5-11.
Figure 5-10. Example of How to Enter IP Preserve in a Configuration File
To download an IP Preserve configuration file to an IPv6-based switch, enter
the TFTP
copy command as described in “You can use TFTP copy commands
over IPv6 to upload, or download files to and from a physically connected
device or a remote TFTP server, including:” on page 5-17 to copy the file as
the new startup-config file on a switch.
When you download an IP Preserve configuration file, the following rules
apply:
■ If the switch’s current IPv6 address for VLAN 1 was statically configured
and not dynamically assigned by a DHCP/Bootp server, the switch reboots
and retains its current IPv6 address, subnet mask, and gateway address.
All other configuration settings in the downloaded configuration file are
applied.
■ If the switch’s current IPv6 address for VLAN 1 was assigned from a DHCP
server and not statically configured, IP Preserve is suspended. The IPv6
addressing specified in the downloaded configuration file is implemented
when the switch copies the file and reboots.
• If the downloaded file specifies DHCP/Bootp as the source for the
IPv6 address of VLAN 1, the switch uses the IPv6 address assigned by
the DHCP/Bootp server.
• If the file specifies a dedicated IPv6 address and subnet mask for
VLAN 1 and a Gateway IPv6 address, the switch implements these
settings in the startup-config file.
