How to backup XOS with Netsight Inventory Manager

[Ronald_Dvorak]

How could I backup my XOS X440 v15.7.1.4 with Netsight Inventroy Manager 6.2.0.199.

I can't get it to work with SNMPv1 / telnet.
IM is set to Script/Controlled by Device Type/Extreme OS - SCP (VR-Default)

Thanks,
Ron

Ron,

From the documentation:

"You must be running the SSH2 module (ssh.xmod), which is under Export Control, in order to use the SCP2 command.
SSH2 does not need to be enabled on the switch in order to use this command."

Also, there seems to be a problem with the permissions of the anonymous account. Go to Inventory Manager -> Tools -> Options scroll down to File Transfer Settings -> SCP Settings, uncheck anonymous and use the root credentials instead.

The backup should now succeed.

Have you tried with
Extreme XOS - TFTP ??

I have a BD8810 (with VR-MGMT) with TFTP is working well

Hi Ron,

I've never tried that myself, however I would imagine since the copy is done via SCP, then SSH needs to be at least enabled and possibly set as CLI creds. Again, not positive, but I would give that a try.
