What command does RME issue on device(s) to backup configs

[getwithrob]

Telnet is the protocol used. What command or commands does RME use to backup device configs?

[Joe Clarke]

Assuming an IOS router device:

terminal length 0

terminal width 0

show privilege

terminal no monitor

enable

show running-config brief

show running-config

show startup-config

Note: not all commands will be used on all versions of IOS or all router device types.

I don't understand how the output is captured from the show running and show startup commands then saved in a file(s) on the RME servers.

The output from the device is captured into an accumulator buffer by the sync archive process, then written out to a temp file. That file is then moved into the archive location, and the database is updated.
