Save current configuration
If you have a device with a previous configuration, it is recommended to save the current configuration with a different file
name other than “startup.cfg” and then reset to factory defaults. Then you can begin your configuration knowing that the
previous configuration will not conflict with the new configuration.
•Save the device configuration:
save
Save configuration? y
Backup configuration
Backup the current configuration, follow these steps:
•From the device system console, where “clean.bak” is an example:
rename startup.cfg clean.bak
Reset to factory defaults or previously saved configuration
Start from a factory defaults condition to prevent interference of other features under test.
•From the device system console in monitor mode <prompt>:
•Reset the device to factory defaults:
reset saved-configuration
The saved configuration file will be erased. Are you sure? [Y/N]: y
•Alternatively, to set the device to a previously saved configuration:
rename clean.bak startup.cfg
•Or you can enter (for example):
startup saved-configuration demo.cfg
•Display the current startup configuration:
display startup
•Reboot the device:
reboot
This command will reboot the device. Current configuration will be lost, save
current configuration? [Y/N]: n
This command will reboot the device. Continue? [Y/N]: y

Setup basic device attributes
This section describes how to setup basic device attributes for an HP MSR Router Series. This section is applicable for both
routers used in the configuration.
Commands at the CLI can be generally be abbreviated with three letters as in these examples:
sys= system
dis cur= display current
dis this=display this
Setup system name
•To set the system name, enter manage mode [prompt]:
system
•Central site router system name:
sysname HP-MSR930
Setup administrator permissions
The local-user “admin” is added and configured with a password of “admin” and “manage level” permissions.
•Set admin user attributes with these commands:
local-user admin password simple admin
authorization-attribute level 3
Setup services
Next, we will start the Telnet and FTP services that are used to administer and manage the router. Setup of the SSH server
allows an administrator to login to the device securely using SSH login. This includes creating a public key and enabling the
SSH server. The SSH server uses SSHv2 by default.
•Follow these steps to setup services for local-user admin:
local-user admin service-type ftp
service-type ssh telnet terminal
quit
•Use these commands to setup the SSH server:
public-key local create rsa
Press Enter for 1024
•Use these commands to enable services:
telnet server enable
ftp server enable
ssh server enable
ssh user admin service-type all authentication-type password
Setup SNMP
•Setup the SNMP configuration using these commands:
snmp sys-info version all
snmp community read public
snmp community write private
(Optional)
snmp sys-info location(your location)
6

Configuration guide | HP MSR930 Verizon 4G-LTE/3G Router Series
•To send traps to your SNMP management system, such as IMC, add these commands
snmp target-host trap address udp-domain <x.x.x.x/host name> params securityname
private
snmp target-host trap address udp-domain <x.x.x.x/host name> params securityname
public
Setup terminal access permissions
•These commands setup permissions for accessing the AUX interface: Use authentication options if you want to use
password via console connection.
system-view
user-interface aux 0 authentication-mode password
set authentication password {cipher/simple}password authentication-mode scheme
authorization-attribute level 3
Save configuration
•It is highly recommended to save the router configuration before you exit.
save
The current configuration will be written to the device. Are you sure? [Y/N}: Y
Please input the file name (to leave the existing filename unchanged, press
ENTER): cfa0:/startup.cfg exists, overwrite? [Y/N}: y
You can keep the name “startup.cfg” so that it will be the configuration that loads with the next reboot of the router. You
should save the configuration with a different name other than “startup.cfg” when you have a known good configuration for
archival and backup purposes.
Dial-up Internet access via 4G-LTE/3G interface
This configuration describes how to configure an HP Next-Gen MSR930 Router Series to provide dial-up Internet access via a
