rsync enable

Enables an automated rsync operation for maintaining a synchronized copy of CNA data on a remote site.

rsync enable { all | configs | reports | trends }
 
no rsync enable { all | configs | reports | trends }
 

 

Must be in configuration mode (config), which requires privileged-level access.

Use once.

Disabled.

The rsync enable command initiates an automated rsync process between CNA and a remote site.

When you enable the process, the entire specified data set will be replicated on the remote host. This replicated data set will then be kept synchronized with the data on the system as long as you keep the rsync process enabled and the remote host is available.

Keywords are:

• all--replicates all user data (saved configurations, snapshot reports and the trend database)
• configs--replicates all user-created .cfg files on the device (does not include either running or startup config)
• reports--replicates all snapshot reports
• trends--replicates the entire trending database

The remote host must be running the rsync server daemon, available from http://www.rsync.org.

If you don’t want to keep the rsync process enabled for automatic updates, you can force individual updates using CNA’s copy command.

The CNA software implements rsync version 2.5.5. If you encounter data flow interruptions--which may show up as transfer interrupted (code 20) and transfer interrupted (code 30) messages in the CNA log--try upgrading the rsync installation on the rsync target host.
