This plugin is for the nightly backup of Router Configs

• Nightly Backup
• Configurable User accounts per device
• Keeps each backup for a configurable number of days
• Can compare and display the exact differences between any 2 configs

Requires TFTP server on the Cacti box

For CentOS, just run these commands

 yum install tftp-server

Then edit the tftp startup script (/etc/xinetd.d/tftp) to change the server arguments, I used this line

 server_args		= -c -s /home/configs/backups

You will need to create this folder (or whatever folder you specify) and give the apache server and the tftp server permissions to access it. I have provided a copy of this file for you. Then we just need to turn on the tftp server so do this.

 chkconfig xinetd on
 service xinetd start

There are a few options in Cacti you will need to change to then get the plugin up and running. They are located under Settings » Misc » Router Configs » TFTP Server IP = The IP Address of the Cacti server given to the routers » Backup Directory Path = The directory you put in the TFTP file above

Now you should be good to go, just add an authenication account, and a device and it will download the first backup after a few pollings.
