Managing the configuration through SNMP
This section describes how to use MIB calls to work with switch images and
configuration files.
You can use a standard SNMP tool to perform the actions, using the MIBs listed in Table 7-1.
For information about how to set up your switch to use SNMP, see 7.3.2, “SNMP” on
page 297.
Table 7-1 SNMP MIBs for managing switch configuration and firmware
The following SNMP actions can be performed by using the MIBs listed in Table 7-1:
򐂰 Load a new Switch image (boot or running) from an FTP/TFTP server.
򐂰 Load a previously saved switch configuration from an FTP/TFTP server.
򐂰 Save the switch configuration to an FTP/TFTP server.
򐂰 Save a switch memory dump to an FTP/TFTP server.
Loading a new switch image
To load a new switch image with the name MyNewImage-1.img into image2, complete the
following steps. This example shows an FTP/TFTP server at IPv4 address 172.25.101.200,
although IPv6 is also supported.
1. Set the FTP/TFTP server address where the configuration file is saved:
Set agTransferServer.0 "172.25.101.200".
2. Set the name of the configuration file:
Set agTransferCfgFileName.0 "MyRunningConfig.cfg"
3. If you are using an FTP server, enter a user name:
Set agTransferUserName.0 "MyName"
4. If you are using an FTP server, enter a password:
Set agTransferPassword.0 "MyPassword"
5. Initiate the transfer. To save a running configuration file, enter 4.
Set agTransferAction.0 "4"
