HP Switch-onK1501# show config K1447config <cr>
The command output will show how the K.14.47 config would be interpreted if it were to be used
by the K.15.01.0031 software. Copying the K1447config file to a TFTP server would similarly
trigger an interpretation by the software performing the file transfer. Note, however, that this does
not actually change the configuration. If the version is rolled back from K.15.01.0031 to K.14.47
with a command like the following (given that K.14.47 is stored in secondary flash), the K.14.xx
formatted config is still intact and valid.
HP Switch# boot system flash secondary config
K1447config
This "interpretation" during a TFTP or show command execution is inherent in the architecture of
the switch. When switch features change significantly (such as the move from IPv4 support to IPv6
support), there may be configuration parameters from the previous config that cannot be translated
by the switch for viewing while it is running the new software. This necessitates storing configurations
for each version of software to an external location, if the user would like to view the stored config
prior to reloading it.
