insure that it is included in the command path.

  WrNet v1.2 Copyright 2001 www.NetLatency.com

    A program to use SNMP to instruct a Cisco router to copy its RunningConfig
    to a TFTP server.

    To make sure this program runs correctly, add "snmp-server community WORD rw"
    to your Cisco router configuration.  Replace "WORD" with the SNMP community
    name of your choice.

  Usage:          WRNET ipAddress community TFTPserver filename [-l]

  Arguments:      ipAddress = IP address of router (or DNS name)
                  community = SNMP read/write community name on router
                  TFTPserver = IP address of TFTP server
                  filename = directory and filename to save config
                  [-l] = Output success/failure information in logfile format

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------

Usage examples:

  WRNET 192.168.2.1 private 192.168.2.57 router-config
	Instructs the router at 192.168.2.1 with the community name "private"
        to copy its running-config to the TFTP server at 192.168.2.57 using
        the filename "router-config".

  WRNET demark smiley 192.168.2.57 router-config -l >> demarklog.txt
	Instructs the router with the DNS name of "demark" and the community
        name "smiley" to copy its running-config to the TFTP server at
        192.168.2.57 using the filename "router-config".  The output will
        be printed in logfile format.  Pipe this information out to the text
        file "demarklog.txt".

NOTE: The TFTP server DNS resolution is done by the computer (not the router!)


Setting up SNMP on your routers
-------------------------------
Your routers must have an SNMP read/write community name set up to be able
to use WrMem.  To set up a read/write community name on a router, use the
following procedure:

1. Login to the router's console
2. Enter priveleged mode; type:
	ENABLE
3. Enter the enable password
4. Enter configuration mode; type:
	CONFIG TERMINAL
4. Enter in the SNMP community name; Type:
	SNMP-SERVER COMMUNITY yourcommunityname RW
	(enter in your own community name in place of yourcommunityname)
5. Exit configuration mode; type:
	EXIT
6. Logout from the router's console; type:
	LOGOUT

NOTE: Choose your community name as you would choose a password.  A
read/write community string has the same access level as the enable
password on your router!

At this point, you should be able to use WRMEM to instruct the router to
save this new running-config to its startup-config by using the newly
created community name.
