Tristan,
If you have a UNIX host with a TFTP server, this is the basics of a script
to back up the configs using SNMPSET to kick off a
"WRITE NET" command.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
NODELIST=/tftpdir/routers/nodelist # list of router names to back
up
TFTPSERVADDRESS=10.1.1.1 # Address of TFTP server storing
configs
for NODE in `cat $NODELIST`
do
TFTPFILENAME="$NODE-confg"
snmpget private $NODE .1.3.6.1.4.1.9.2.1.55.$TFTPSERVADDRESS octetstring
$TFTPFILENAME > /dev/null
done
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The script I use runs to over 900 lines of code, error checking, logging and
so on.
Once you have your script, run it from the cron daemon in the quiet
overnight slot you reserve for such things!
There is lots more than this to do to make this a viable production script,
but it should get you on your way, or let
one of your UNIX colleagues look at this and they can probably run you up
something suitable in no time.
Regards
Pete S.
