How to: Download Cisco IOS running config to SCP server

Use the Device.CLI.Send commands activity to enter the following commands at the enable prompt.

Activity Option settings:

[X] List of commands to be entered on device:

 copy running-config scp://Destination username:Destination password@Destination HostIP/Destination filename

 %ctCR

 %ctCR

 %ctCR

[X] Enter commands in enable mode

[X] Save device output to file [Specify the log file name here]

[X] Overwrite existing capture file

[X] Answer yes to any confirmation prompts

[X] Stop on error

Example:

 copy running-config scp://Admin:Password@10.190.1.10/%ctDeviceName-Config.txt

 %ctCR

 %ctCR

 %ctCR

The device will normally respond with the prompts:

Address or name of remote host [10.190.1.10]?

Destination username [Admin]?

Destination filename [Device-Config.txt ]?

which by using the %crCR Meta Variable will tell CatTools to send a CR (Carriage Return) to answer each prompt

Note also the use of the meta variable:

 %ctDeviceName = Device Name
