Backing Up Electronic Labels

Context

Information in electronic labels can be useful if you need to troubleshoot a network fault or replace hardware in batches. Therefore, backing up electronic labels is important to improving maintenance efficiency.
  • If a network fault occurs, you can rapidly learn about hardware information using electronic labels, improving hardware maintenance efficiency. In addition, information in electronic labels of faulty hardware enables you to analyze and trace hardware defects.

  • Before replacing hardware in batches, you can obtain accurate hardware deployment information based on information in the electronic labels recorded in the archive systems of customers' devices. This information enables you to evaluate the impact of hardware replacement and define policies to efficiently replace hardware in batches.

Electronic labels can be backed up to a file server or the local flash memory. Before backing up electronic labels to a file server, ensure that the device and file server can communicate. The file server can be an FTP or SFTP server. SFTP is recommended for high-security scenarios because FTP cannot ensure secure file transfer.

Procedure

  • Run backup elabel [ slot slot-id [ subcard-id ] ]

    Electronic labels are backed up to the flash memory.

  • Run backup elabel ftp ftp-server-address filename username password [ slot slot-id [ subcard-id ] ]

    Electronic labels are backed up to an FTP server.

  • Run backup elabel sftp sftp-server-address filename username password [ slot slot-id [ subcard-id ] ]

    Electronic labels are backed up to an SFTP server.
