[no]static‐routeip‐prefix/ip‐prefix‐lengthnext‐hopip‐address
Multiple static-route commands can be issued for the Management IP interface.
A static route is added for 192.168.100.0/24 with a next hop of 192.168.1.1 with the
command below:
*A:VSC-1>bof# static-route 192.168.100.0/24 next-hop 192.168.1.1
To check connectivity:
ping router “management” <Gateway IP>
6. [Optional] Enable index persistence for SNMP managed HP VSCs
If the HP VSC is going to be managed using SNMP, it is recommended that index
persistence be enabled using the persist command to ensure that MIB objects, like IP
interfaces, retain their index values across a reboot. The .ndx file that saves all of the
indexes in use is saved on the same device as the configuration file whenever a save
command is issued to save the HP VSC configuration.
The persist command has the following syntax:
persist{on|off}
To enable index persistence, the command is:
*A:VSC-1>bof# persist on
7. Save the configuration to cf1:
The BOF file is normally saved in the same directory as the image file for DCNOS , but for
the HP VSC, it is recommended that the bof.cfg file be saved to the cf1: “user” emulated
disk.
Note: The “image” disk CF2: has a default bof.cfg file, but any user modified bof.cfg
should be stored on the “user” disk CF1:.
The command to save the BOF to cf1: is:
*A:VSC-1>bof# save cf1:
8. Reboot the HP VSC to load the saved boot options
After saving the BOF, the system needs to rebooted because the bof.cfg is only read on
system initialization.
To reboot the HP VSC, issue the following commands:
*A:VSC-1>bof# exit
*A:NSC-vPE-1# admin reboot
WARNING: Configuration and/or Boot options may have changed since the last
save.
Are you sure you want to reboot (y/n)? y
The exit command returns the CLI to the root context so that the admin reboot command
can be issued to reboot the system. Answer in the affirmative to reboot.
