Automatic BACKUP on NEXUS 3k

[geevee1989]

Hi All,

I have written the below script for NEXUS 3K but it wont work since my 3K doesn't support watchdog feature. is there any workaround for this to work?

Also please let me know if there are any mistakes in the script

event manager applet backup

 event timer watchdog time 86400

 action 1.0 cli command "enable"

 action 2.0 info type routername

 action 3.0 cli command "copy run tftp:///$_info_routername" 

 action 4.0 cli command "" pattern "vrf" 

 action 5.0 cli command ""

Regards,

Geevee

Hi,

CRON timer can do the same thing what you're with watchdog timer.

Below are tutorial link which will help you in applying the CRON in EEM.

Hello Geevee,

Automatic BACKUP on NEXUS 3k

Watchdog doesn't work in Nexus (NX-OS) the workaround would be that you can set scheduler in it .

[Halyna]

Working config: N3K-C3172TQ-10GT - username and folder. Without password. VRF - is optional.

scheduler job name backup-config
copy running-config ftp://N3K-C3172TQ-10GT@192.168.1.100/$(SWITCHNAME)-conf.$(TIMESTAMP) vrf LAN
 
end-job
scheduler schedule name backup-config
  job name backup-config
  time start 2018:06:29:16:58 repeat 7:0:0

Just take into account that automation backup on Nexus 3k possible only with tftp file transfer or with ftp without password.
