M4100: scheduled config save via encrypted connection (needs telnet up to now..)
Hello everybody, we would like to use NMS300 to save the config of our 40 Netgear Switches (M4100 series, different models) automatically every night, but this requires telnet to be enabled on all switches (confirmed by Netgear Expert Bruce_G: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Managed-Switches/NMS300-config-backup-with-telnet-disabled/m-p/1161992/thread-id/2682#M2753) I think that transmitting a password for administrative access in cleartext over the network isn't best practice, especially for a product which claims to be enterprise ready. Would you please implement an option for a scheduled config saving and other mass actions like firmware update for all switches via an encrypted conection? It should be possible to disable telnet on the switches without disabling any funcionality (apart from logging in via telnet of course..) ;-) Thanks in advance! Kind Regards Christoph PeusAdd support for M4300 series to NMS300
Hi, it would be nice to manage the M4300 series in NMS300, so please add support to backup the switches config via Telnet (or HTTP/S). See also this post as it shows some errors while using NMS300 to backup config from a M4300 switch: https://community.netgear.com/t5/Managed-Switches/NMS300-switch-config-backup-M4300/m-p/1090642 Thanks and best regards.
