Add system-shutdown on a Catalyst Using SNMP

[ciscoBer]

Hi,

We have multiple SW on a network who we cannot access because of memory error. We would like to reboot the sw to access it. It is far from us so we would like to do it by SNMP. We have not the SNMP system-shutdown command on the config, but is it possible to send it to the device using SNMP?

If the switches are having a mem alloc failure and cant be accessed ,
snmp may not get through at all , is there no one that could reboot them locally

Thanks for the response Mark.

Am afraid it want be easy because the SW is in a difficult position, that why it would be so good if there is a way to do it remote. We have cisco prime access on the device, do you know if it is possible to reboot with prime?

In normal prime could try get prime to send config to it with command…. do reload at x as it will only be in config mode , but im not sure if the Do statement works in Prime config push mode , haven’t tried it before
