agSaveConfig

Module: ALTEON-CHEETAH-SWITCH-MIB

OID (symbolic): ALTEON-CHEETAH-SWITCH-MIB::agSaveConfig

OID (numeric): 1.3.6.1.4.1.1872.2.5.1.1.17.1

Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-write

Description: When this object is read the current state is returned. idle(2) indicates that there is no save in progess. complete(4) indicates that the last save operation is completed. Setting the value to save(1), will write the current config block since the last save to the flash memory with backup, for saving without backup saveNoBackup(6) can be used. If the save is successful this variable will return the state 'complete' else it will return 'failed'. In case of failure, to read the reason for failure use the agSaveTable. Once the operation is completed or the agSaveTable is read , the save buffer needs to be freed and the agSaveState should be set back to 'idle' state so others can issue the save command via SNMP.

What is agSaveConfig?

This read-write INTEGER triggers configuration save (1), shows status, or performs save without backup (6). Network engineers use this to persist configuration changes to flash. Example: setting to 1 writes current RAM config to permanent storage.
