Jose,

It looks like you don't need a script for this. In Inventory Manager just right click on the device and select file transfer method. Select SCP.

scp...on this position is wrong...because it describes the method of moving config from switch to netsight-server / inventory-manager.
When your Netsight-Sever is running on linux you need to create a cron-job using root-rights.

In Netsight open the web help and search for "How to Set Up Third-Party Device Support".
There you'd find a description how to add a custom device definition file = script.

I've tried it myself but the new file wasn't visible in the pull down menu to select - not sure what I'm doing wrong - I've restarted Netsight & the client.

The part in the file for the config backup looks like below but as I've mentioned I wasn't able to test it so I'm not sure whether it's correct..

-----BEGIN SCRIPT "Configuration Upload"-----
delete configs/jcn3p.cfg
show config outfile configs/jcn3p.cfg
@receive 20
copy configs/jcn3p.cfg scp://%SCP_USER%:%SCP_PSWD%@%SCP_IP%/%TARGET_FILE_NAME%
exit

Hello,

i had the same problem some times ago.

Working solution you can find below.
I've changed scp user and pass to scp. You should create scp user on netsight server.

/usr/local/Extreme_Networks/NetSight/appdata/InventoryMgr/properties/devicefiles

-- Use these scripts to manage Enterasys devices
name="B5 SCP Enterasys Networks"
desc="B5 SCP Enterasys Networks SSH/TFTP Scripts"
protocol=scp
--
-----BEGIN PRE-SCRIPT "Configuration Upload"-----
-- create /home/scp/b5-config.cfg
-- create absoluteFilePath2
-----END PRE-SCRIPT-----

-----BEGIN SCRIPT "Configuration Upload"-----
delete configs/config-b5.cfg
@RECEIVE 5
show config outfile configs/config-b5.cfg
@RECEIVE 25
copy configs/config-b5.cfg scp://%SCP_USER%:%SCP_PSWD%@%SCP_IP%/%RELATIVE_TARGET_FILE_PATH%
@RECEIVE 25
exit
-----END SCRIPT-----
