I want to backup the running-config of all switches per SCP to a server.



Question 1: is this possible with kron? Is there a better way and why?



Question 2: how can I get the public key of the switch to auto-authentificate the user to the server?



Thank you very much.

You can ssh to cisco IOS using public key. In Cisco device, using this command:



ip ssh key-chain


or



ip ssh pubkey-chain


depend on your IOS version.



You can simply creat a bash file, schedule it to run with cron.



Updated



Do you try generating ssh key from cisco device:



crypto key generate rsa


then copy public key generated to Linux server, and try to connect?
