Transfer file via tftp for Cisco, Netscaler and Linux box

Once the TFTP server installed. We have to start do some test to perform the backup..

Here I do face some error or failure when transfering..

Do some twit and tune around and here the some way to do it..

Do advise most of the information do plug from some other blog..

Appreciate for their solution and option..

Cisco Backup

Netscaler Backup

Now... let's get back to business..

Do notes, my tftp server IP is 192.168.1.250

1. Backup for Cisco devices...

Cisco#write net

This command has been replaced by the command:

'copy system:/running-config '

Address or name of remote host []? 192.168.1.250

Destination filename [ cisco-config ]? cisco-config

Write file tftp://192.168.1.250/cisco-config? [confirm]y!! [OK]

Cisco#

2. Backup for Netscaler devices..

For the netscaler devices, if do not have any function for tftp, then required to login to shell mode of the devices. From there, we required to write 2 script for the backup.

i. Create a folder to store backup script.

mkdir /var/backup

ii. create Script backup.sh - backup all the configuration, license and ssl certificate

#!/bin/sh

cd /nsconfig

tar -zcf /tmp/ns-backup.tar ns.conf license/ ssl/

cd /tmp

tftp < /var/backup/tftp.cmd

rm ns-backup.tar

iii. Create Script tftp.cmd - for run the tftp command

connect 192.168.1.250

binary

put ns-backup.tar

quit

iv. If intent to perform the backup daily, can consider to add a crontab for the script run base on your preference time.

3. Backup for Linux Box..

For this option, I do face some error such as Transfer timed out or nothing transfer. Therefore if face some of the issue, might try to perform some tuning on the client machine.

i. At the client machine add the ip_conntrack_tftp

modprobe ip_conntrack_tftp

ii. Then run tftp to put the file into the server.

root@ client[~]# tftp 192.168.1.250

tftp> put my.cnf

tftp> quit

If intent to do some auto backup, do advise use the same solution as suggest on Netscaler Backup solution.
