Step 5 Try a Management Information Base (MIB) browse of the device from the base platform.
On Netview/6000, choose Tools, MIB-Browser, SNMP. On HP OpenView, choose
Monitor, MIB Values, Browse MIB: SNMP. On SunNetManager, choose the device and
then select a Quick Dump of SNMP.
If MIB values are not returned for the device, check the documentation for your base
platform and re-check the snmp-server information in the router.
Testing Basic TFTP Connectivity
The following steps describes the procedure to follow to test the connectivity of your Trivial File
Transfer Protocol (TFTP) server:
Step 1 Check whether the inetd daemon is running on the UNIX workstation. On AIX, HPUX,
or Solaris, enter ps -ef | grep inetd. On Sun, enter ps -aux | grep inetd. If the inetd
daemon is not running, start it. For information on starting the inetd daemon, refer to your
operating system manual.
Step 2 Use the netstat -a | grep tftp command to see whether the TFTP daemon is running on
the UNIX workstation. If the TFTP daemon is not running, start it. For instructions on
starting the TFTP daemon, refer to the CiscoWorks Installation and Reference Guide.
Step 3 Test TFTP functionality from the router to the UNIX workstation. On the UNIX
workstation, enter the command cd /tftpboot and then the command ls -l filename to
check for the presence of a scratch configuration file for the router (the default is
router_name-confg).
If there is not a configuration file for the router, create one by entering the command
touch filename and then the command chmod 777 filename.
Step 4 Open a Telnet session to the router, enter privileged mode (to enter privileged exec mode,
use the enable exec command), and enter the copy running-config tftp command.
Specify the TFTP server and the file you just created (filename) to overwrite the file on
the TFTP server. If the file transfer fails, check connectivity between the router and the
host and refer to your operating system manual to troubleshoot TFTP server problems.
