This video demonstrates how to take Cisco Routers / Cisco Switches configuration backup nvram:startup-configuration to an external server FTP, TFTP, SCP etc using Python
#CiscoBackupPython
#CiscoConfigBackupScript
#PythonCiscoFTPbackup
The script is as below
import paramiko
import time
from getpass import getpass
import datetime
TNOW = datetime.datetime.now().replace(microsecond=0)
username = ‘admin’
password = ‘admin’
scp_pass = getpass( prompt = ‘Enter SCP server Password :’)
DEVICE_LIST = open (’09_devices’)
for RTR in DEVICE_LIST:
RTR = RTR.strip()
print (‘n #### Connecting to the device ‘ + RTR + ‘####n’ )
SESSION = paramiko.SSHClient()
SESSION.set_missing_host_key_policy(paramiko.AutoAddPolicy())
SESSION.connect(RTR,port=22,
username=username,
password=password,
look_for_keys=False,
allow_agent=False)
DEVICE_ACCESS = SESSION.invoke_shell()
DEVICE_ACCESS.send(‘copy nvram:startup-config scp://user@10.10.10.100//data/05_PYTHON_DEMO/ROUTER_’ + RTR + ‘nnnn’)
time.sleep(5)
DEVICE_ACCESS.send(scp_pass +’n’)
time.sleep(1)
print (‘Backup completed for the device ‘ + RTR + ‘nn’)
SESSION.close
