Creating jobs¶

Prerequisites¶

• To run the job, the corresponding outgoing and incoming ports on the server, switch and all network devices (in between) must be enabled. By default, these are the SSH connection and the TFTP connection. In the job configuration, change the ports via which the connection is established.

• If you want to back up several switches at the same time, you must set a different TFTP port for each switch. Increase the maximum number of parallel uploads in the AdminClient via INI files.

Creating jobs for Allen-Bradley Stratix switches¶

1. Start the AdminClient and open the Jobs module.
2. Select your Stratix Switch component in the Project tree.
3. Click on the Create button in the menu bar or drag and drop the component into the Jobs area.
4. Check whether the upload type Switches is displayed in the Job configuration area.
5. Configure the General, Notification, Upload and compare and Create a version automatically after job run sections. The sections Notification and Create a version automatically after job run are only displayed if the settings required for this have been made. If no project data has been versioned in the component, select the compare policy Previous backup <-> Backup under Upload and compare.
6. Configure the Switch settings section:
   1. Enter the IP address or the name of the Device.
   2. For User, enter the user name under which the device is accessed.
   3. For Password, enter the password for the user name entered.
   4. For Type, Stratix.
   5. For Port, enter the outgoing port via which the connection to the device is established. The default value for SSH is 22.
7. Save the job and execute it.
