17.7.2 Configuration example
Objective:
Configure local and remote backup of the router configuration once a day and upon successful configuration
change. Remote copies should be sent to the tftp server 172.16.252.77 in the esr-example subfolder. The
maximum number of local copies is 30.
Solution:
For successful operation of remote configuration archiving, IP connectivity should be established between the
router and the server, permissions for the passage of tftp traffic over the network and saving files on the server
should be configured.
