Configure Backup and Replay

You can configure backup and replay of device.

1. Enable periodic config-backup.
   

   # efa inventory device setting update --ip 10.24.14.133 --config-backup-periodic-enable yes

2. Configure device backup.
   

   efa inventory device setting update --ip 10.24.14.133 --config-backup-interval 30m [3m-1800m, default 1440m]
   # efa inventory device setting update --ip 10.24.14.133 -–number-of-config-backups 2 [2-20, default 4]
   # efa inventory config-backup execute --ip 10.24.14.133

3. View config-backup history.
   

   # efa inventory config-backup history --ip 10.24.14.133
   # efa inventory config-backup detail –-uuid 1111-1111-1111 --show-config
   # efa inventory config-backup detail –-uuid 1111-1111-1111 --show-config -–file-dump <filename>

4. Optional: Delete config-backup.
   

   # efa inventory config-backup delete --key 10.24.14.133
   # efa inventory config-backup delete --key 1111-1111-111

5. Determine the backup restore method:
   • To restore backup using the startup-config file, proceed to the next step.
   • To restore backup using the running-config file, go to Step 7.
   

   Note

   The startup-config backup restore method requires device reboot to restore the configuration.
6. Configure device replay using the appropriate command.
   • Config-replay without rebooting the device:
     

     # efa inventory config-replay execute --ip 10.24.14.133 --uuid 1111-1111-111 --startup-config --no-reboot

   • Config-replay with device reboot:
     

     # efa inventory config-replay execute --ip 10.24.14.133 --uuid 1111-1111-111 --startup-config

7. Configure device replay using running-config.
   

   # efa inventory config-replay execute --ip 10.24.14.133 –-uuid 1111-1111-111

8. View config-replay history.
   

   # efa inventory config-replay history --ip 10.24.14.133
   # efa inventory config-replay detail –-uuid 1111-1111-1111

9. Optional: Delete config-replay.
   

   # efa inventory config-replay delete --key 10.24.14.133
   # efa inventory config-replay delete --key 1111-1111-111
