Although it may not be the most glamorous side of IT every sysadmin will appreciate the value of a rock solid backup system. All too often though these systems do not extend down to the ’embedded’ systems like network switches and firewalls.<\/p>\nAlthough it may not be the most glamorous side of IT every sysadmin will appreciate the value of a rock solid backup system. All too often though these systems do not extend down to the ’embedded’ systems like network switches and firewalls.<\/p>\n
However with a little WinSCP<\/a> (and its fantastic .NET assembly automation package) and PowerShell combined its pretty easy to cook up something that is 100% less of the cost of any management solution.<\/p>\n This guide shows how to setup the backup of a HP ProCurve switch<\/strong> (I’ve tested it with the ProCurve 8200 series, 5400 series the 2920s, a 2626 and a 2530 all of which were running the most recent firmware) although it should be a simple matter of changing the relevant paths to make it work with other manufacturers kit (e.g. Cisco).<\/p>\n First up grab the source files from the link below and extract the contents to C:\\Network Switch Backup (you can use any other path but will just need to update the paths inside the PowerShell) you should then have a folder which contains a .cmd file, a .ps1,\u00a0a sample .csv and a sub folder called Backups.<\/p>\n Each switch will now need ip ssh and ip ssh filetransfer running on it through the CLI (if its not already setup); be sure to set a manager password (if you haven’t done so already!) as well. In addition you will need to find the Server host key fingerprint for each switch; the screen shots below show one way of doing this.<\/p>\n \n As normal follow through the screen shots below; you will need this link to get a hold of the installation components – http:\/\/winscp.net\/eng\/download.php<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n Final step! (I know this was almost too easy….) Run the .cmd file and assuming everything is listed right you will soon have a complete listing of all of your network switch configurations (more in the screen shots).<\/p>\n \n To take things one step further and make this process truly automated you can set a scheduled task on your computer to run the ‘Backup Network Switches.cmd’ file at a set time each day \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n You might also want to consider expanding your setup using the information in my Automated Change Detection and Reporting \u2013 Network Switches<\/a> post which sets things up so that you receive email notification each day listing out any changes in your configs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Although it may not be the most glamorous side of IT every sysadmin will appreciate the value of a rock solid backup system.
