Hi,
Is it possible to ssh into a subordinate Cisco IOS/XE devices and retrieve a config backup after successfull login on the primary device ?
Thanks !!
Secondary login to backup subordinate cisco devices
My understanding is that each of the Stack members have a synced configuration that contains all member switches configurations and is pushed to them from the Primary Switch when it's configuration is saved.
The only significant difference that I can think of between the switches "should" be the Stack Member Number. What are you wanting to backup that isn't in the stack config? It's been a while since I have had the opportunity to stack Cisco Switches.

Hi,
By subordinate I mean a device not directly accessible from the management server running Unimus.
After logging in on the edge device Unimus has to do a secondary SSH login from the CLI to reach the subordinate devices.

Oh, I get it now.
No, Unimus needs a remote agent of some kind to do the SSH interaction. Which is why we provide Unimus Core, this is able to perform all the device interaction tasks (Jobs) that your Unimus Server performs, but is able to do so locally to devices. https://wiki.unimus.net/display/UNPUB/A ... e+overview
This way you don't need to expose your device's management interface to the internet.
Unless you are going to have 100s of devices in the remote network, you can use just about any hardware you want. If you have a virtualization server available, I like to just drop a VM or a docker container there. Otherwise I know a lot of guys just drop a RaspberryPi or other single board computer to do the job.
We do support using NetXMS Agents as remote proxy zone agent as well. https://wiki.unimus.net/display/UNPUB/N ... Zone+Proxy (I will be working on actually filling out that documentation here in a bit.)
