How to retrieve Nexus 7010 et 5596 configuration via Snmp ?

Aret Avedis SET · ‎03-24-2012

Hello all,

I want to know how to retrieve the complete configuration for a Nexus via the snmpwalk or snmpget commands...

What mib's is needed ?

Thanks for the feedback

Hi,

Copy Configurations To and From Cisco Devices Using SNMP mostly uses the CISCO-CONFIG-COPY-MIB in almost all the Cisco Devices. Nexus is no exception and hence you would need the same MIB to copy the configuration via SNMP.

Some of the other MIBs which are used as well are:

CISCO-SMI-V1SMI.my
SNMPv2-TC-V1SMI.my
CISCO-CONFIG-COPY-MIB-V1SMI.my
CISCO-FLASH-MIB.my

I think these two documents cover in-depth procedure to put more lime-light on what we need. Please check :

Hi more information, i execute the scrip below :

#!/bin/sh

#############################################################

# Script to demonstrate the SNMP commands necessary to backup the Cisco Nexus Switches

#############################################################

COMMUNITY="RW community"

HOST="Ip @"

TFTPSERVER="srv @"

FILENAME="nex7000.cfg"

RND="10"

snmpset -v 2c -c$COMMUNITY $HOST ccCopyProtocol.$RND i 1 ccCopySourceFileType.$RND i 4 ccCopyDestFileType.$RND i 1 ccCopyServerAddress.$RND a $TFTPSERVER ccCopyFileName.$RND s $FILENAME ccCopyEntryRowStatus.$RND i 4

sleep 5

snmpget -v 2c -c$COMMUNITY $HOST ccCopyState.$RND

sleep 5

snmpget -v 2c -c$COMMUNITY $HOST ccCopyState.$RND

sleep 5

snmpget -v 2c -c$COMMUNITY $HOST ccCopyState.$RND

sleep 5

snmpget -v 2c -c$COMMUNITY $HOST ccCopyState.$RND

snmpset -v 2c -c$COMMUNITY $HOST ccCopyEntryRowStatus.$RND i 6

When i launch it i have this message on the server :

./testnexus.sh

ccCopyProtocol.10: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top) -> ccCopyProtocol)

ccCopySourceFileType.10: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top) -> ccCopySourceFileType)

ccCopyState.10: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top) -> ccCopyState)

ccCopyEntryRowStatus.10: Unknown Object Identifier (Sub-id not found: (top) -> ccCopyEntryRowStatus)

When i launch a debug snmp all, i have no error, i just see that the packet that comes it's accepted by the ACL

Thanks for your feedback
