Trying to backup 3Com SuperStack3

Question

The command to backup up these devices is pretty simple, system backup save

and then tftp server, filename, notes.

I've been trying to edit a custom device script, but it is a little tough to debug.

Is there a way to find out what Device.Backup.Running Config does step-by-step so I can fix the correct functions from the template?

Hi caleyjay7--

I noticed you uploaded your script under the NCM product, but posted in the CatTools forum that it is available.

May I just verify with you if the template of for NCM or CatTools please?

Thanks,

Steve

I've just taken a look at our 3Com.Switch.SSII device script for the Device.Backup.Running Config activity and it appears in this, we create the backup text file by issuing a series of commands to display data to the terminal window.

It may be worth trying the 3Com.Switch.SSII device type with your SS3's to see if you get any success.  Here are the commands that are issued:

* bridge display
* bridge multicastFiltering routerPort list
* bridge port address list all
* bridge port summary all
* ethernet summary all
* feature resilience detail
* feature trunk summary
* ip interface display
* snmp trap display
* system display
* system inventory
* system module display
* system security access display
* system security user display

If this doesn't work (or it doesn't provide you with a full config, reloadable to the device), then you may want to look at using the 'Device.CLI.Send Commands' activity to see if you can send the necessary commands to back-up via the TFTP method instead.The only problem with the 'Device.CLI.Send Commands' method, is you don't get the comparison reports (Diff reports) generated.Please let me know how you get on.Regards,Steve
