Loading and saving configuration files with IPv6
Specify the running-config keyword to upload the specified file from the IPv6 TFTP server to the
device. The device copies the specified file into the current running configuration but does not
overwrite the current configuration.
Specify the startup-config keyword to upload the specified file from the IPv6 TFTP server to the
device. The the device copies the specified file into the current startup configuration but does not
overwrite the current configuration.
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
configuration on a Brocade device. 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 Brocade 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 Brocade 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 Brocade device, by default the Brocade 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 Brocade device.
<fdry-ip-addr> is the IP address of the Brocade device.
<tftp-ip-addr> is the TFTP server 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 flash memory of the Brocade device to the TFTP
server.
21 – Download a startup-config file from a TFTP server to the flash memory of the Brocade
device.
