Config backup on Hirshmann/Belden switch

extremef — Thu, 27 Oct 2022 09:14:10 GMT

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to backup devices like Hirschmann RS20, RS30 and RS40.

Those switches have a running config (ASCII) and a binary config.

I'd like to backup both ASCII and Binary on XIQ-SE.

I succeeded with the ASCII alone and the binary config alone, but I'am not able to backup both in a unique script

So I just need to know how do you run 2 cli script, in a row.

Thank you very much

The short answer is, you can't. You can only assign one Inventory script to a device.

It should however be possible to build a custom archive script that offloads and archives both files using the create/copy commands as noted in the DeviceFamilyDefTemplate.txt located in /usr/local/Extreme_Networks/NetSight/appdata/InventoryMgr/properties/devicefiles sub-directory. You may want to peruse our GitHub public scripting repository as there may be some scripts there that use this function.

you can take a look at the EXOS Backup-Scripts.

The Backup of a EXOS-Switch contains a script-based config file and the xml-based config file.

I don't know how this is done, but maybe it's a help.
