HI,
Since an automated backup cannot be initiated from the Nexus 5K, here
are some options for a 3rd party application or cron job.
1st option:
you can use ssh and scp to remotely execute NXOS commands sent from
the host to pull/push files to/from the N5K.
Preconfigure the ssh key on the N5K for authenitcation.
Then something like this on the host that is doing the backup of the N5k
Host$ ssh n5k_sw scp startup-config
username@Host:/home/username/N5k_configs/startup-config-xxx
Host$ ssh n5k_sw scp
username@Host:/home/username/N5k_configs/startup-config-xxx bootflash:
2nd option:
you can configure snmp for this automatic backup
You can use following snmp-set commands
snmpset -v 2c -c private 14.17.151.64 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.14.135
integer 5
snmpset -v 2c -c private 14.17.151.64 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.2.135
integer 1
snmpset -v 2c -c private 14.17.151.64 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.3.135
integer 4
snmpset -v 2c -c private 14.17.151.64 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.4.135
integer 1
snmpset -v 2c -c private 14.17.151.64 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.5.135
a "172.18.252.233"
snmpset -v 2c -c private 14.17.151.64 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.6.135
s "test1"
snmpset -v 2c -c private 14.17.151.64 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.14.135
integer 1
Substitute your ip addrs and snmp v2 community strings or v3 as
appropriate
snmpset -v 2c -c private 14.17.151.64 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.3.135
integer 4 (running config)
snmpset -v 2c -c private 14.17.151.64 .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.96.1.1.1.1.3.135
integer 3 (startup config)
