Copy Layer2 Mac Address Table to remote FTP server

[harsha senaratna]

hi all,

It is required to import all the mac address table entries in my branch switches to the remote FTP Server. Futher I should also mention my LAN interface as a source interface, because I dont have routes to my WAN Interface from the Head Office.

Corressponding table (attached) should be copied to the remote ftp server periodically.How can I enable this config and what are the configurations I should do ?

Thanks

You can automate this process with any NMS (Network Management System) - like CiscoWorks.

Much simpler and less painful than configuring scription on a switch.

Depending on the IOS version you are running many of the scripting features aren't avaliable or have multiple caveats.

Best to rely on what's proven to work, using NMS tools.
