Our new disaster recovery guy wants to be able to backup our switches to save configs independent of Netsight in case something drastic happens where we need to restore switches but don’t have Netsight as a restore option. I was thinking I could just do a simple one line script “upload config” script that he could run again multiple switches at the same time as a task or from CLI Commands.
I had something like this in mind:
upload configuration 1.1.1.1 %hostname%.xsf vr vr-default
It would obviously take more than one line, but is there a way to capture the switch hostname (or another easily identifiable piece of info like IP) and save it as a variable to use in this way? If not is there a way to accomplish basically the same thing in a different way? I’ve manually pulled the configs one a time in years gone by, but it was very time consuming to do one at a time with unique file names.
