ASR 9000 configuration backup

[jorgensor]

Hi,

Need a simple script (TCL/EEM) that backs up running-config of an ASR9k router on a daily basis.

Destination FTP och SFTP via a VRF

/Jorgen

this is maybe even nicer, we set a trigger on the MGBL commit from XR and then trigger a config backup right away:

event syslog pattern "%MGBL-CONFIG-6-DB_COMMIT : Configuration committed by user"

for more detail on the setup of eem check here:

https://supportforums.cisco.com/document/59496/using-embedded-event-manager-eem-ios-xr-asr9000-simulate-ecmp-min-links

here is an example script:

::cisco::eem::event_register_syslog

namespace import ::cisco::eem::*
namespace import ::cisco::lib::*

array set arr_einfo [event_reqinfo]


if [catch {cli_open} result] {
    error $result $errorInfo
} else {
    array set cli1 $result
}

array set _sinfo [sys_reqinfo_routername]
set _info_routername $_sinfo(routername)
if [catch {cli_write $cli1(fd) "copy run tftp"} _cli_result] {
    error $_cli_result $errorInfo
}

if [catch {cli_read_pattern $cli1(fd) "Address"} _cli_result] {
    error $_cli_result $errorInfo
}

if [catch {cli_write $cli1(fd) "w.x.y.z"} _cli_result] {
    error $_cli_result $errorInfo
}

if [catch {cli_read_pattern $cli1(fd) "filename"} _cli_result] {
    error $_cli_result $errorInfo
}

if [catch {cli_exec $cli1(fd) } _cli_result] {
    error $_cli_result $errorInfo
}

action_syslog msg 

# Close open cli before exit.
catch {cli_close $cli1(fd) $cli1(tty_id)} result

Can anyone help us?

What problem are you having? How about you configure the router to do the backup each time the config is changed, take a look at the following:

Thankyou!

But one more thing. When I use auto-save command there's a problem:

my ftp server's name: cisco

Password: snoc@123

When I excute the command: configuration commit auto-save filename ftp://cisco:snoc@123@192.168.1.1/config.cfg

The system cant understand the server IP 192.168.1.1 but 123@192.168.1.1

Is there anyway to troubleshoot this? (I cant change password because it is related to many other things).

Thanks!

[Eddie Chami]

Break it down as such and see if it works. Else you might need to change the password:

configuration commit auto-save filename ftp://123.29.0.147/config.cfg

ftp client password snoc@123

ftp client username cisco

let me know how it goes. 

Eddie.
