Image and configuration file download and upload
The following objects manage file downloads and uploads. They are available in all devices.
When uploading or downloading configuration files to and from the TFTP server using SNMP, check for the following:
- If the SNMP password check is enabled on the device, the object must be sent with
the following information in the same PDU as the TFTP objects:
- If AAA is used for SNMP authentication and the authentication method is enable or line, then the value of snAgGlbPassword must be in cleartext format.
- If AAA is used for SNMP authentication and the authentication method is local, RADIUS, Telnet, TACACS, or TACACS+, then the value of snAgGlbPassword must be in the user password format. The space between user and password is the delimiter.
- If AAA is not used for authentication, then the value of snAgGlbPassword for the enable password must be in cleartext format.
- Make sure that the user has administrative access (privilege=0) on the device; otherwise, the user will not be able to upload files to the TFTP server.

The snAgCfgEosTable objects must be sent along in one PDU for network management systems to recognize values from (24) to (27).A separate write memory using the CLI or an SNMP “set snAgWriteNVRAM” is required to save the configuration to NVRAM.
