Use DNA to backup network switches

[Hythim Ali El Hadad]

Hi

Can I use DNA to schedule backup my network switches configuration CAT 9200 in my inventory and how ?

Thanks

The Cisco DNA Center can manage the network devices and the configuration is stored in database tables in the appliance. If your are thinking of a "Flat" File backup or the devices, this is not there as you expect.

We do have a Configuration Archive API feature where you can export the Startup & Running Configuration of a Network Device

• Cisco DNA Center Platform v. 2.2.2

• Using the Inventory Device-Details, you can export the CLI output of the configuration.
• Also, Here is some tools to do what you are looking for

In a future release, we may add some of the traditional backing up of device configurations.
