Creating jobs

The standard connections in the network are the SSH connection and the TFTP connection.

You can manage the ports for establishing the connection in the Job configuration. The TFTP port can only be used to access one switch at a time. If several switches are to be backed up at the same time, you must set a different TFTP port for each switch. Here it is important that you increase the maximum number of parallel uploads.
