  • Access to a Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) or File Transfer Protocol (FTP) server.
  • Connectivity - Routers must be able to access the FTP or TFTP server. Use the ping command to verify connectivity.


    Make a Backup of the Configuration

    There are several methods to choose from in order to back up and restore a configuration:
    • Use a TFTP server
    • Use an FTP server
    • Use a Terminal Emulation Program
    • Automatic Backup of Configuration using the Kron Method
    • Backup Configuration to a TFTP Server

    kron policy-list AutoSaveConfig
    cli write
    exit

    kron occurrence AutoSaveConfigSchedule at 23:50 Fri recurring
    policy-list AutoSaveConfig

    kron policy-list Backup
    cli show startup-config | redirect tftp://10.10.10.10/Router-10.10.10.1-Backup.cfg

On Cisco routers and Catalyst 6500 series switches, ARC creates blocks by applying ACLs or VACLs. ACLs and VACLs apply filters to interfaces, which includes direction, and VLANs, respectively in order to permit or deny traffic. . The PIX Firewall, FWSM, and ASA do not use ACLs or VACLs.
