Perform these steps to use the CISCO-FLASH-MIB to copy a configuration file located on a TFTP server to Flash on your router.
- Create a row in the ciscoFlashCopy Table, set the necessary values of the attributes, and start the transfer, as shown:
snmpset -v 2c -c .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.2. i 2
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.3. i 1
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.4. a ""
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.5. s ""
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.6. s "flash:/"
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.11. i 4
- Check for the completion of transfer process, as shown:
snmpwalk -v 2c -c .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.8.
Repeat the command until the state is copyOperationSuccessful.
- Destroy the row created, as shown:
snmpset -v 2c -c .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.11. i 6
This is an example:
Cisco IOS Router Name/IP Address: 10.0.0.1
Server IP Address: 10.0.0.2
File Name: IOS.img
SNMP Read Write Community String: private
Random Row number: 50
- Creating a row in the ciscoFlashCopy Table, setting values and starting transfer.
snmpset -v 2c -c private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.2.50 i 2
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.3.50 i 1
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.4.50 a "10.0.0.2"
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.5.50 s "IOS.img"
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.6.50 s "flash:/IOS.img"
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.11.50 i 4
- Checking the transfer status. Repeat checking until the status is successful.
snmpwalk -v 2c -c private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.8.50
- Destroying the row.
snmpset -v 2c -c private 10.0.0.1 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.10.1.2.1.1.11.50 i 6
