EMC tftp

[Jeff_Roberts]

Is it possible to tftp a config file from a non-Extreme device to the Netsight server?
I'd like to schedule config backups but I'm not having much luck. I'm attempting to run a script to copy startup-config to the Netsight server.

When I run the command on a Dell switch: "copy startup-config tftp://x.x.x.x/%DEVICEIP%.txt,"
I get the error: "%TFTP-A-TftpRxERROR: An error message was received: 2 "
I run the same command and point it to a tftp server on my machine and it transfers successfully.

Hello Jeff,

first of all you have to check how you can do a backup e. g. to an TFTP-Server manually on the CLI of you switch. Remember the commands you are using on the cli for backup.
Now you can create you on Backup-Script in XMC. If you need information how to create this script open the online help in XMC and search for:
