Script to copy running config to TFTP server

[pradipkadam24070]

Hi,

I want to create script to just a copy running-config to tftp server. Or anyone knows command to execute the same task without prompting for input.

I am running following command on cisco ASA box.

#copy running-config tftp:<IP address>/<director name>, after executing the command it asks following questions.

Source file name ?

IP address ?

Destination file name ?

I need command or script where system should not ask me any questions, once i give all parameters in the command.

Regards

Pradip

Hi 

Can you use Python script?

Edit:

Removed script - working script in the next post.

I will give a try, i need to get into python which i never worked. But thank you for sharing the code !

Anyone has any suggestion to solve this in one single command or simple shell script, will be useful. 

Regards

Try this - 

#!/usr/bin/expect -f

set ASAIP [lindex $argv 0]
set USER [lindex $argv 1]
set PWD [lindex $argv 2]
set TFTP [lindex $argv 3]
set DSTFILE [lindex $argv 4]

spawn ssh $USER@$ASAIP
expect "password:"
send "$PWD\n"
expect ">"
send "en\n"
expect "Password:"
send "$PWD\n"
expect "#"
send "copy run tftp:\n"
expect "Source"
send "\n"
expect "Address"
send "$TFTP\n"
expect "Destination"
send "$DSTFILE\n"
expect "Cryptochecksum"
send "\n"
send "exit\n"

Save above in a file - for example - asa-bash.sh

chmod +x asa-bash.sh

Run the shell script with arguments. 

 ./asa-bash.sh <ASAIP> <USER> <PWD> <TFTP> <DSTFILE>

example:
 ./asa-bash.sh 10.10.10.10 admin Cisco123 1.1.1.1 asa-conf-backup.txt

The script expects the ssh and enable password are same. If not the same you could simply add another variable.

Appreciate it if you could hit the helpful button for any helpful posts.

Try this one - 

#!/usr/bin/env python

from netmiko import ConnectHandler
from datetime import datetime
from getpass import getpass
import time

today = str(datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d-%H-%M'))
filename = (today + "_asa_config.txt")

# Device data
# Replace IP below with your ASA IP address
cisco_asa = {
'device_type': 'cisco_asa',
'ip': '10.45.22.20',
'username': raw_input('Enter username: '),
'password': getpass('SSH password: '),
'secret': getpass('Enable password: '),
'verbose': False,
}

copy_cmd = "copy running-config tftp:"
tftp = raw_input('Enter TFTP server IP addr: ')

net_connect = ConnectHandler(**cisco_asa)
net_connect.enable()
time.sleep(1)

output = net_connect.send_command_timing(copy_cmd)
if 'Source filename' in output:
    output += net_connect.send_command_timing('\n')
if 'remote host' in output:
    output += net_connect.send_command_timing(tftp)
if 'Destination filename' in output: 
    output += net_connect.send_command_timing(filename)
print output

I dont want to be an as.... and I was just looking for netmiko scripts since I am not very advanced in python. 

But why done you just run the following  : sh run | red tftp://ipadd/folder/file.txt 

instead of copy run ?
