Switch Backup TFTP

[Bezwick]

Hi All

 

I know this is possible because I wrote a batch script years ago that did this unfortunately I cant find it now.

 

essentially we have a few old switches, and I would like to take regular backups of their configuration, essentially probably once a week using a scheduled task.

 

I have setup a TFTP server, logged onto the switch via telnet and backed up the switch config to the TFTP server.

 

However I am struggling to write a working batch file to do this and would appreciate some help. Its been so long I've forgotten how to do things like press enter in a batch file. Send text to the telnet session.

 

Essentially I need my bat file top look something like this

 

telnet 192.168.1.10

USERNAME Text

PASSWORD Text

tftp 192.168.1.100 put current.cfg backup.cfg

Sleep 500

quit

 

 

Thank in advance
