[f-nsp] Updating running config via tftp/snmp

[Michael Renner]

Hi,

I'm trying to change my acl-update-script from a ssh/expect hack to snmp 
since snmp is a bit more responsive and (hopefully) causes fewer 
"hiccups" (apparently the foundry sshd hangs every now and then).

After reading up on the MIB [1] I hacked together a script which sets 
the tftp servers ip address, the name of the config file and snAgCfgLoad 
to 23 in one packet (should download the config from the tftp server to 
the foundries ram). I see that the foundry fetches the config from the 
tftp server but apparently the config file doesn't get applied (no 
changes in the ACLs visible, no "running-config was changed..." message 
in the log).

Setting snAgCfgLoad to 21 (fetch config from tftp and write it to flash) 
works, (although overwriting your complete config with just an 
acl-update might be a bad thing in case you want to reload your switch ;) ).

"no snmp-server pw-check" is already configured.

Any ideas?
