Backing up switch configuration data

In case of Cumulus switches, ssh to the switch and take a backup of the following files from all the required Mellanox switches:

• Switch Port attributes

  /etc/network/interfaces

• Routing Application

  /etc/frr/frr.conf

• Breakout cable configuration file

  /etc/cumulus/ports.conf

• ONIE version and cumulus linux version

  /

In case of Aruba switches, back up the running configuration to a file on a remote server (using TFTP):

copy running-config sftp://root@<IP address>/backup_cfg json vrf mgmt

The sample output is as follows:

switch# copy running-config sftp://root@xx.xx.xx.xx/backup_cfg json vrf mgmt
