Backup HP 5500 switch with SNMP only

[racowi]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to get the config file from a HPE 5500 but only with SNMP. 
The telnet and SSH are disabled on the device but the snmp is the only thing running and working. 

Can this be possible?

Do you have SNMP read-write configured on that device?

I'm not certain if you can trigger a backup using SNMP on Comware devices, but at a minimum you will need SNMP r/w.

Is there a good reason you want to do this? Are you locked out of the device, or is it someone else's gear?

Yes I have the R/W.
We manage the device but for some reason we are unable to ssh it using our username and password. I think one of the tech guy put a typo on the password or username before leave the place. The place is miles away from us, so I'm really want to save a long travel.

Thanks

I was able to fix the login credentials using SNMPSET.

If someone need it, this two thread helped me to figure it out:

Hope this can help you too.
