Re: How do you backup the configuration of IB Melannox switch SX6036?

Hi Ophir,

Thank you for your information.  Sorry, I didn't post my question clearly.

I should ask:  How do you do you backup your Mellanox switch to a remote server?

I have written a small script to do the backup.  But, it didn't work for Mellanox.  However, with a small change, the script it will work for Cisco router, switches etc...

After "show run" it didn't display the configuration.

Here is the expect script on a Linux server.

#!/usr/bin/expect

set timeout 10

set name "admin"

set pass1 "admin"

set hostlist "mellanox1"

spawn ssh $name@$hostlist

expect "Password:"

send "$pass1\r"

expect "*>"

send "enable\r"

expect "*#"

send "terminal length 800\r"

expect "*#"

set time [exec date \+\%y\%m\%d]

set filename  $hostlist-$time

log_file /home/mydir/$filename

send "\r"

expect "*#"

send "show run\r"

expect "*#"

send "exit\r"

log_file
