TFTP does partial changes, just like if you TFTP'd a config file to a Cisco, the downside being that if you don't want to trigger it via SNMP you have to script a login to the box. SCP is a better way, but on older code scping to running-config overwrote the entire thing and replaced it with what you were uploading, which is Bad (tm). I submitted a feature request for partial updates of the config from SCP, which I'm pretty sure was implemented in newer MLX/XMR code, but I forget the exact version where this happened offhand. -- Richard A Steenbergen <ras at e-gerbil.net> http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC)
