Retrieving IOS running-config via scp=20
Posted by: daniel in Cisco=20
Ok, now I've only tested this with routers running IOS - it may be a little=
different with Catalyst switches, since they store their config on flash, =
rather than nvram. On the other hand, it may be exactly the same, since we'=
re retrieving running-config, not startup-config.=20
First, you need to ensure that ssh and scp have been enabled. I strongly re=
commend that you run ssh version 2.=20
ip ssh version 2=20
| ip scp server enable=20
Then, on your PC:=20
scp user at router-hostname:system:running-config .=20
You should then have a file called "running-config" in that directory. Pret=
ty simple=E2=80=A6=20
If you want to grab the startup-config instead of the running-config, try:=
=20
scp user at router-hostname:nvram:startup-config .=20
By using RSA keys to eliminate the password prompt at login, this method co=
uld be expanded to form the basis of an automated config backup. I know tha=
t various apps already exist, but a lot of them retrieve the config via "ex=
pect" scripts, basically executing a "show run" and capturing the output.=
=20
Another method of retrieving the config is via SNMP, however unless you're =
using SNMP v3 with encryption, this method is potentially insecure.=20
