Your kron job will do a copy run start( or wr mem) every fortnight but will never write the running config to the tftp server.
If you want to do this with a kron job you'll have to issue following command in your kron policy: cli show run | redirect tftp:/172.16.0.30/xxx
But then no more need for the archive command.

Hi Alain,
YES you are right "never write the running config to the tftp server". I knew about this
I was not aware of redirect command.. i tried to configure redirect and remove archive configuration but it didnot work for me
Check my TFTP server logs.

NOTE:dont look at debug time as i forgot to configure timestamp debug command after restoring my router config
Hi,
Can you try a copy run tftp://172.16.0.30 and if it fails can you sniff with wireshark or another software on the tftp server then send pcap file.
if it's ok then retry the kron and sniff on tftp server.
Regards.
Alain.
Hi Alain,
copy tftp was successful. but when i ran wireshark over TFTP server while configuring kron on my router, i got unusual error.few lines of my router were being sent to TFTP server repeatedly and i could see TFTP server received it properly but i could see ICMP Destination unreachable (port unreachable ) from TFTP server to router.
Actually in my pcap file which i ran on my server includes all other sensitives information, so i cant share that file here, please check the screenshots of it.
Thanks
hi,
Can you do the same when doing the copy tftp command and then compare the 2 ways to see any difference.
I don't understand why it's working with the copy command and not with the kron policy.
Regards.
Alain.
Hi,
I pointed out my issue, actually i have configured my NIC of server to be trunk port (intel VLANs option). when i tried same kron configuration to my notebook it worked as desired.
Thanks for i can use ths command for other devices as well.
