To determine the size of a Foundry device’s running-config or startup-config file, copy it to a TFTP server, then use
the directory services on the server to list the size of the copied file. To copy the running-config or startup-config
file to a TFTP server, use one of the following commands.
•
Commands to copy the running-config to a TFTP server:
•
copy running-config tftp
<ip-addr> <filename>
•
ncopy running-config tftp
<ip-addr> <from-name>
•
Commands to copy the startup-config file to a TFTP server:
•
copy startup-config tftp
<ip-addr> <filename>
•
ncopy startup-config tftp
<ip-addr> <from-name>
Using SNMP to Save and Load Configuration Information
You can use a third-party SNMP management application such as HP OpenView to save and load a Foundry
device’s configuration. To save and load configuration information using HP OpenView, use the following
procedure.
NOTE:
The syntax shown in this section assumes that you have installed HP OpenView in the “/usr” directory.
1.
Configure a read-write community string on the Foundry device, if one is not already configured. To configure
a read-write community string, enter the following command from the global CONFIG level of the CLI:
snmp-server community
<string>
ro | rw
where <string> is the community string and can be up to 32 characters long.
2.
On the Foundry device, enter the following command from the global CONFIG level of the CLI:
no snmp-server pw-check
This command disables password checking for SNMP set requests. If a third-party SNMP management
application does not add a password to the password field when it sends SNMP set requests to a Foundry
device, by default the Foundry device rejects the request.
3.
From the command prompt in the UNIX shell, enter the following command:
/usr/OV/bin/snmpset -c
<rw-community-string> <fdry-ip-addr>
1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.5.0
ipaddress
<tftp-ip-addr>
1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.8.0 octetstringascii
<config-file-name>
1.3.6.1.4.1.1991.1.1.2.1.9.0 integer
<command-integer>
where:
<rw-community-string> is a read-write community string configured on the Foundry device.
<fdry-ip-addr> is the Foundry device’s IP address.
<tftp-ip-addr> is the TFTP server’s IP address.
<config-file-name> is the configuration file name.
<command-integer> is one of the following:
20
– Upload the startup-config file from the Foundry device’s flash memory to the TFTP server.
21
– Download a startup-config file from a TFTP server to the Foundry device’s flash memory.
22
– Upload the running-config from the Foundry device’s flash memory to the TFTP server.
