I wrote a script for backup configuration of TP-Link switches.
The script runs on Linux where the TFTP server is running, it is connected via telnet to the switch and the configuration command is sent to the specified TFTP, when the telnet connection is closed, the file is moved to the desired directory, and the last command deletes files longer than 30 days, as more of them I do not need to store.
You can also make a copy of all the files in the cloud every month.
As you can see, before entering a password in the script, you can not pause.
#!/bin/bash
{
echo "PASSWORD";
echo "enable";
echo "PASSWORD";
echo "copy startup-config tftp ip-address 192.168.0.5 filename tplink";
sleep 2;
echo "exit";
sleep 1;
echo "exit";
} | telnet 192.168.0.110
mv /srv/tftp/tplink.cfg /backups/devices/tplink/`date +%Y-%m-%d`_tplink.cfg
find /backups/devices/tplink/ -type f -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;
Hello,
is there any chance you could help me a bit with your script? I have it like this
#!/bin/bash
{
echo “user”;
echo “12345678”;
echo “enable”;
sleep 4;
echo “copy startup-config tftp ip-address 192.168.200.9 filename tplink-test2”;
sleep 2;
echo “exit”;
sleep 1;
echo “exit”;
} | telnet 192.168.200.2
ls -la /volume2/Backups_all/Switch/tmp/
and I am running it like this
root@Sami_NAS:/volume2/Backups_all/Backup_scripts# bash -x ./switch_test.sh
+ cmd=’copy startup-config tftp ip-address 192.168.200.9 filename tplink-test2′
+ echo copy startup-config tftp ip-address 192.168.200.9 filename tplink-test2
copy startup-config tftp ip-address 192.168.200.9 filename tplink-test2
+ echo user
+ echo 12345678
+ echo enable
+ telnet 192.168.200.2
+ sleep 4
Trying 192.168.200.2…
Connected to 192.168.200.2.
Escape character is ‘^]’.

As you can see he seems to miss the copy word in $startup-config tftp ip-address 192.168.200.9 filename tplink-test2+ echo exit
I don’t know what could be the problem here and can’t seem to manage to work around it. Could you please help a bit?
Thank you in advance
Hi Sami,
I had the same problem as you, and I have managed to make it work by removing SLEEP 4; command after ENABLE; command.
My script look like this
#!/bin/bash
#Switch switch01
{
echo “username”;
echo “password”;
echo “enable”;
echo “copy startup-config tftp ip-address 192.168.1.100 filename switch01”;
sleep 4;
echo “exit”;
sleep 2
} | telnet 192.168.1.2
I have used this script on TP-Link T2600G-52TS and T2600G-28MPS
