Export NSM device-configs to command line based file

[j2_]

Hi,

I have the following question:
- how do i export/backup the running config of a remote device from NSM?
I would like to be able to create a text-file with all the configure-commands of a remote device. This way it is possible to quickly restore a config on a remote device without having to use the NSM (in case we've got big problems and our NSM isn't working).
I already found the "export-device config to file" option, but this is some kind of xml-like structured, i want it clean like when adding a device to NSM ("show device commands"). Another option is to build a script to try and rebuild the xml-like device-config-file to a cli-config.

Anyone got an idea?

If the devices you are interested in are the Secure Access devices, I think you are out of luck. There is no CLI defined for the device - configuration loads have to be done by XML.

I wish this weren't true.

This only works with devcies that are currently connected to NSM....

Use the 'Troubleshoot' function (right click on device)

Use the 'get config' command

copy/paste the info that is returned from the device....

done 

:-)

You can setup a script to perform this type of query to all your devices (this would be outside the NSM communication channel) but it's complicated.

Hope that helps...
