Dell N series Schedule backup

Hi Everyone,

We attempted to add our N-series switches to OpenManage, but it appears that the series is not supported. We still need to schedule frequent backups for these switches. Is there a way to automate this process on a Windows server (not Linux)?

Thanks!

Hello,

you can use Open Manage Network Manager to schedule jobs like backup.

@DELL-Marco B​ That product has been sold to a third-party company, and they have rebranded it. I am looking for a solution that can be applied in a Windows environment using SSH, for example.

Hello,

 

I'm not finding a Dell product. Maybe I can ask Marco if he knows of one.

 

You may check out SolarWinds Network Configuration Manager (NCM)

These are a couple other options I found:

 

PowerShell with Plink: You can create a PowerShell script that uses Plink (a command-line interface to PuTTY's back ends) to SSH into your Dell N-series switches and back up the running configuration. Here's a Spiceworks community post that provides an example script https://dell.to/40Qrs95

 

 

Network-Device-Configuration-Backup Script: This GitHub repository contains a PowerShell script that automates the configuration backup of network devices using SSH and a TFTP server. You can find the script and instructions here. https://dell.to/4hattTl
