I am trying to backup ~80 Fortinet products with a nightly backup job. I am consistently running at a 40% failure rate. The failed nodes return with 1 of 2 messages:
"ERROR: Cannot download Startup config : Unable to Log into Router : Timeout. Device IP: <blah>"
"ERROR: Cannot download Startup config : Connection Refused by <blah> "
I have successfully setup the template to account for the "Accept" prompt present with a Fortinet banner
I have successfully setup the template to account for a virtual prompt for "$" instead of "#"
I have successfully setup the credentials to allow disabling of the "paging" function...
I am backing up the startup (i.e. show full-configuration)
The backups run in the evening during low traffic volumes.
Here is the kicker: EACH one the failed nodes in the nightly backup, can be *manually* backed up by NCM in under 2 minutes.
Any ideas?
