How to save "sh run" of multiple Cisco switch/router to a text file at a single time

[sureshpaultce]

Hi All,

I can manage to save the "sh run" of a single Cisco/Router in a text file using putty. 

But, can any one help me on, how to save "sh run" of multiple Cisco switch/router (more than 100 devices) to different text file at a single time?

Your help is highly appreciated.

Is this a "once off" thing or are you planning to do this regularly?   

Try the script below: 

archive
 log config
 logging enable
 hidekeys
 path tftp://<TFTP IP address>/$h-
 write-memory

The script above means every time you save the config a copy of the config is stored in the TFTP of your choice.

If you want to store the config file regularly, like every week, then add the command "time-period 10080" at the end of the archive command.

hi Leo,

Thanks for the above input...

Please clarify me how to run the above script, should i have to save the above text in .bat format and then run or else how?

Also, let me know, should i have to enable ssh in all the devices or else telnet is enough.

I am planning to do this regular basis.

Every time you save the config of the appliance, the script will automatically run.

Also, let me know, should i have to enable ssh in all the devices or else telnet is enough.

Won't make any difference.  Make sure TFTP is allowed, on the firewall, to the TFTP server. 

I am planning to do this regular basis.

Insert the "time-period <BLAH>" command and the script will automatically run when there's no intervention.
