Creating jobs

Requirements

• To execute jobs, the outgoing and incoming ports for the server, the switch and all network devices between must be specified, so that the firewall does not block communication. The default protocols are: SSH and TFTP. In Job configuration, it is possible to specify and change the port for the communication protocol.
• If you want to backup more than one switch at a time, you will have to set a different TFTP port for each switch and (in the AdminClient under INI files) increase the maximum number of parallel uploads.
