To copy a configuration file:
Table 30-4 shows examples of using the command snmpset to copy a configuration. These examples
assume that:
• the server OS is Unix
• you are using SNMP version 2c
• the community name is public, and
• the file f10-copy-config.mib is in the current directory or in the snmpset tool path.
copyUserName .1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.5.1.1.1.1.9 Username for the
server.
Username for the FTP, TFTP, or SCP
server.
• If the copyUserName is specified so
must copyUserPassword.
copyUserPassword .1.3.6.1.4.1.6027.3.5.1.1.1.1.10 Password for the
server.
Password for the FTP, TFTP, or SCP
server.

CONFIGURATION
2 Copy the f10-copy-config.mib MIB from the Dell Force10 iSupport webpage to the server to which you are
copying the configuration file.
3 On the server, use the command
snmpset as shown:
snmpset -v snmp-version -c community-name -m mib_path/f10-copy-config.mib force10system-ip-address
mib-object.index
{i | a | s} object-value...
• Every specified object must have an object value, which must be preceded by the keyword i. See Table 30-3
for valid values.
• index must be unique to all previously executed snmpset commands. If an index value has been used
previously, a message like the one in Message 2 appears. In this case, increment the index value and enter the
command again.
• Use as many MIB Objects in the command as required by the MIB Object descriptions in Table 30-3 to
complete the command. See Table 30-4 for examples.
Note: You can use the entire OID rather than the object name. Use the form: OID.index i object-value as
shown in Figure 30-8.
Message 2 snmpset Index Value Error
Error in packet.
Reason: notWritable (that object does not support modification)
Failed object: FORCE10-COPY-CONFIG-MIB::copySrcFileType.101
