Verifying Your Configuration File Upload Via SNMP

Troubleshooting Via SNMP

If you have any difficulties with the configuration file upload, you can try using the following MIB 10 to 20 seconds after using SNMP to have the AP download the configuration file.

client.

 

 

 

Configuration File Format

The text based configuration file must use the following format.

Figure 201 Configuration File Format

!#ZYXEL PROWLAN !#VERSION 12

wcfg security 1 xxx wcfg security save wcfg ssid 1 xxx wcfg ssid save

The first line must be !#ZYXEL PROWLAN.

The second line must specify the file version. The AP compares the file version with the version of the last configuration file that it downloaded. If the version of the downloaded file is the same or smaller (older), the AP ignores the file. If the version of the downloaded file is larger (newer), the AP uses the file.

Configuration File Rules

You can only use the wlan and wcfg commands in the configuration file. The AP ignores other ZyNOS commands but continues to check the next command.

The AP ignores any improperly formatted commands and continues to check the next line.
