Making configuration changes using SNMP
This section provides information on making configuration changes, getting the
changes put into effect, and retaining the changes across a power cycle when using
the SNMP interface.
You make configuration changes using SNMP by issuing SNMP Set commands to
MIB objects that the switch supports as read/write.
Applying configuration changes
When the SNMP Set is received, the switch checks the data to ensure that it is
valid. If it is invalid, the SNMP error code BADVALUE is returned in the SNMP Set
Response. Otherwise, the configuration change is applied.
Saving configuration changes across a reset or power cycle
Configuration changes made using SNMP Set commands are not automatically
retained across a reset or power cycle. To get these changes retained across a
reset or power cycle, issue an SNMP Set to the swDevCtrlSaveConfiguration
object supported by the switch private MIB.
Managing the configuration file
Your switch’s configuration is written to a configuration file. Having this file available
at a remote location would allow you to restore a corrupted switch configuration.
System utilities allow you to upload files from the switch and download files to the
switch.
From the System Utilities panel, you can select to Upload File From Switch or
Download File to Switch to process a configuration file; just specify
Config File
as
the file type on either panel. The switch must have a path available through Default
VLAN (VLAN 1).
