Download Jobs

Download Job refers to a task that involves retrieving configuration files from network devices such as routers, switches, firewalls, and others and storing them centrally within the system.

The download typically captures the devices' current running configuration and start-up configuration. This job helps IT teams maintain up-to-date backups for disaster recovery, ensure compliance with internal policies, and track any configuration changes over time.

The management admin (user with appropriate privileges) initiates the download process, where network devices can be selected and the configuration type (running or start-up configuration) specified. The tool helps ensure that all configurations are securely backed up, enabling efficient configuration management across multiple devices and vendors.

Infraon's Download Jobs added through the Discovery process or manual Device addition will start downloading:

• Device configurations (Startup & Running - when both are supported by the vendor)

• Operational Data (which can be customized by the administrator)

• Device Inventory Details

• OS image details based on 'Configuration Profile' assigned

• Device Credentials

• Connection & Download protocol selection

• Schedule (daily, weekly, monthly, and Every 'N' days) period

Infraon's Download Job downloads the configurations from devices that support at least one of the management protocols:

• SSHv1

• SSHv2

• TELNET

NETCONF protocol will also be supported in addition to the above protocols to maintain the configuration in XML Format.

Each device will have its own Download job to schedule the download frequency at different intervals.
