Hi All,
I am trying to configure a script for saving the running-config to a fileserver for backup purposes.
So, it must be able to run without user interaction and that a user must not be logged on the specific server where the script is running. I have tried multiple ways, telnet, ssh in powershell, plink etc etc.
What I see in the GUI that there is a connection
| 2024-Nov-22 16:28:50 | Informational | %AAA-I-CONNECT: User CLI session for user USERNAME over ssh , source IP_SOURCE destination SWITCH_IP ACCEPTED |
So that is great that there is a connection but from that moment it stops. For example, with this script below I am getting a connection but no file with the running config on the tftp server. I know that the tftp is working because if am running it from a ssh session it works.
# Switch IP
$switchip= "SWITCH_IP"
# Secure password
$securePassword = Import-Clixml -Path "C:\Runbook\securepassword2.xml"
# Maak een PSCredential-object aan (gebruik het geladen wachtwoord en de gebruikersnaam)
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential ("USERNAME", $securePassword)
# Plink uitvoerbare bestandspad
$plinkPath = "C:\Runbook\plink.exe"
# Commando voor het maken van de backup
$command = "copy running-config tftp://TFTP_IP/switch.cfg"
Start-Process -FilePath $plinkPath -ArgumentList "-ssh", "USERNAME@$switchip", "-pw", $credential.GetNetworkCredential().Password, $command, "-batch", "-no-antispoof" -NoNewWindow -Wait
What am I missing with this or does somebody have another solution to solved this? I know there is software that can do this, kiwicatools if i am correct, but it should also be able by scripting, right?
