Hello,

	I am sure this can be done and am calling on my fellows to help light 
the way!

	I have a cisco 2970 switch newly installed in a remote, inaccessible 
location that presently lacks OOB serial access. Due to a config error, 
I cannot telnet into the unit due to missing config elements:

Escape character is '^]'.


Password required, but none set
Connection closed by foreign host.


	I do have, however, a writable snmp community string. So I am wondering 
if it would be possible to update the running config using snmp in order 
to give me telnet access to this unit? It would beat a trip back out 
there and would serve my cisco education well too. So how about it, any 
takers?

Mike-
