HP Routers/Switches (Comware 7)

Using SSH, Telnet or direct console connection:

Configuration files can be retrieved via the Command Line Interface (CLI) of your HP Comware 7 device using an SSH client (such as OpenSSH or Putty), Telnet or the console port. We would recommend using either SSH (for remote connections) or using a direct connection to the console port. Telnet provides no encryption of the communications and therefore your authentication credentials and configuration would be vulnerable if a malicious user were to monitor your connection.

 

  1. Connect to the HP Comware 7 using your favorite SSH client, Telnet or a direct console connection.

  2. Login using your administration authentication credentials.

  3. Execute the following CLI command and capture the output (possibly using the cut and paste facility):

    Copy 
    display current-configuration
  4. Save the captured output to a file and if necessary remove any visible page lines (i.e. --More--).
  5. The resulting file should now be auto-detected as a HP Comware device when entered into Nipper.
