Hi,

which switch (vendor, model) are you running on your site? Sounds a little bit like cisco...

Do you know the tftp commands to establish a connection?

hi again,
i solved my problem.
i wrote a php code, i allocated the tftp mode via $tftpmode and i changed this mode to unsecure via $change, and then i could get download all switchs config via tftp get command from dos prompt.
thank you al.

$tftpmode = snmpget("$switch","public",".1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.7.1.5.6.0");
$change = snmpset("$switch","public",".1.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.14.11.5.1.7.1.5.6.0","i","2");
