Ciscoworks LMS 3

[josepho]

Is there a way for me to do automatic configuration backup of my switches and routers using ciscoworks?

[Sven Hruza]

Yes, that is a key feature of ciscoworks!

Configure the Ciscoworks server as syslog server on your routers and switches.

The devices will send config-syslog messages to the server if you have configured severity level 5 (notifications) on the devices.

Ciscoworks will now collect all configurations automatically after you did a change on a device.

configuration:

logging 10.10.10.10

logging trap notification

it is useful to configure a source interface for logging on routers.

I think the command is (for example)

logging source-interface loopback0

This is not working for me. Can you point me to the direction for a document in this regards.

The Resource Manager Essentials (RME) component of CiscoWorks performs this function. See Chapters 8 and 14 in the User Guide: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/net_mgmt/ciscoworks_resource_manager_essentials/4.3/user/guide/chgaud.html
