About this task
This process is required to support the recovery of the Cisco network device configurations in the
Converged System.
Establish a process to perform network device configuration backups and that you place the repository on
the AMP VM that hosts the fabric manager service.
Before you begin
•
Access a copy of the PuTTY software used to verify device connectivity and login credentials
•
Access a copy of the TFTP server software that provides a method to accept a remote copy of
device configuration files
•
Identify the VM within the AMP deployment where the repository is to be created
•
Monitor disk storage resources to prevent overuse issues and data unavailability
Procedure
1
To create the backup directory, type:
mkdir drive :\Cisco
.
Use the the D:\ drive. However, if the D:\ drive is not available, use the C:\ drive. This drive is
referenced throughout these instructions.
2
Create the named devices and data subdirectories. It is recommended that you create one set of
empty subdirectories and then copy them to the other device directories. The directory names are
the major model numbers with 00 substituted for the last two digits of the device model.
The list of device models is provided as an example. Create only the entries needed to
support the Converged System being deployed.
3
Install the TFTP server.
4
To configure the TFTP server, in the home directory is the location created above
drive :
\Cisco
, restrict read/write access to the IP range of devices sending configuration files.
5
To verify the procedure, check the directories and make sure entries from the network devices
exist.
What to do next
