Requirements

  • HiOS switches:
    Some HiOS switches may permit SSH connections only via key exchange, depending on the firmware version. This can be verified by attempting a login using an SSH terminal application.
    If the switch supports key exchange only and rejects password-based SSH logins, configure the octoplant job to use Telnet instead.
  • RS switches:
    Configuration is saved as a binary backup. Comparisons are not supported for this format.
  • RS series (Hirschmann Firmware 09.0.13):
    For RS series switches running Firmware 09.0.13 (Classic Switch Software), comparisons are supported. Backups are created in text format.
  • RSP switches:
    Configuration is backed up in XML format.
  • HiSecOS switches:
    Configuration is backed up in XML format.
  • ONE switches:
    Configuration is backed up in text format.

Ports & protocols

  • To execute the job, the necessary outgoing and incoming ports must be enabled on the server, the switch, and all intermediate network devices. By default, these include the SSH and TFTP ports.
  • Only one switch at a time can be accessed via the TFTP port. To back up multiple switches simultaneously, configure a unique TFTP port for each switch. You can increase the maximum number of parallel uploads in the Upload\AgentStation.ini file.
