.
Enter a
Name
and
Description
for the scheduled file export and
Enable
it.
Using the 24-hour clock format, enter a daily
Scheduled Export Start Time
or select one from the drop-down.
If you are configuring a scheduled export to two or more servers, stagger the start time of the scheduled exports. Scheduling multiple exports at the same start time results in discrepancies between the exported configurations.
Set the export
Protocol
to Secure Copy (
SCP
) or File Transfer Protocol (
FTP
).
Enter the details for accessing the server, including:
Hostname
or IP address,
Port
,
Path
for uploading the file,
Username
, and
Password
.
The
Path
supports the following characters:
.
(period),
+
,
{
and
}
,
/
,
-
,
_
,
0
-
9
,
a
-
z
, and

-
Z
. Spaces are not supported in the file
Path
.
If you are exporting to an FTP server using an IPv6 address as the
Hostname
, you must enter the address enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). For example,
[2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334]
.
If you are exporting to a BSD server, you will need to modify the SSHD password prompt to
<username>@<hostname> <password>:
.
(
SCP only
) Click
Test SCP server connection
. To enable the secure transfer of data, you must verify and accept the host key of the SCP server. Panorama doesn’t establish the connection until you accept the host key. If Panorama has an HA configuration, perform this step on each HA peer so that each one accepts the host key of the SCP server. If Panorama can successfully connect to the SCP server, it creates and uploads the test file named ssh-export-test.txt.
