The esteemed Mr @BlakeKrone was asking for a script to backup configs off of a Cisco Switch.
To use this module, you have to run over and grab SharpSSH, a .Net implementation of JSCH. I've used this in projects as far back as 2008. It's a great library and very easy to implement in C#, VB.net or Powershell. Just throw it in the same folder with the module and update the path in the script.
#Powershell Module for Backing up a switchFunction BackupCiscoSwitchConfig{param([Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$ipAddress,[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$ipTFTP,[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$username,[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$password,[switch]$StartupConfig)[void][reflection.assembly]::LoadFrom("C:\Users\jake\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\Tamir.SharpSSH.dll")[string] $myExpect = "#"[string] $myExpect2 = "]?"[string] $myConfig = "running-config"if($StartupConfig){$myConfig = "startup-config"}$cred = @{}$cred.username = "$username@$ipAddress"$cred.Password = "$password"$SshSession = new-object Tamir.SharpSsh.SshShell `$ipAddress,$username,$Password#Build SSH Session$SshSession.Connect()[string] $Myhostname = $SshSession.Expect("$myExpect")Write-Host($Myhostname)$SshSession.RemoveTerminalEmulationCharacters = $true$SshSession.Writeline("copy " + $myConfig + " tftp://" + $ipTFTP + $Myhostname + ".txt")$SshSession.Expect("$myExpect2")$SshSession.Writeline("")$SshSession.Expect("$myExpect2")$SshSession.Writeline("")$SshSession.Expect($myExpect)
One of the nice things about this, is that it's easily used in other scripts. For example if you had a spreadsheet of all the switches in your network, you could easily pipe that into this script to perform a mass backup of all devices.
You can also use the same concept to log into switches and confirm all the configs are written, change PSK or guest usernames on a WLC.
