Hello Everyone,
I have two BNT Layer 2/3 Copper Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module for IBM BladeCenter switches and would like for NCM to download daily backups of the running config. I cant find any information about this anywhere. Are any of you backing up these switches with NCM? Thanks to all in advance.
I have this setup on a couple BNT switches. I modified the Cisco Catalyst template below.
<!--SolarWinds Network Management Tools-->
<!--Copyright 2007 SolarWinds.Net All rights reserved-->
<Configuration-Management Device="BNT Layer2 BladeCenter Switch" SystemOID="1.3.6.1.4.1.9.5.46">

</Commands>
</Configuration-Management>
I have tried using this until I am blue in the face :). Not really that bad I guess but I still cant figure this out. Could you please explain in a little more detail how you made this modified script work?
I have modified the template and renamed it just as the one I see above. When I try to download the running config I just get a connectivity error. Do I have to edit any of the varaibles like {TransferProtocol} or {StorageAddress}?
Thanks again for all of the help. I
I checked my device-type configuration again and it is identical to the text above. Have you made sure that your transfer protocols are set correctly within NCM? Have you selected the correct device command template in NCM? What does the trace look like after you attempt to download the config?
Are you able to login to the BNT switch and issue the same commands in the CLI?
I am downloading the startup configs weekly and running configs when changed without issues.
Hi ssanders,
have you tried the steps that kbskbe suggests? Any progress?
I can contact you offline and we make the template work together, if you want.
Regards,
Jiri
