Creating jobs
The default network connections are the SSH connection and the TFTP connection.
In Job configuration, you can manage the ports for the connection setup. Only one switch can be accessed at a time via the TFTP port. If several switches are to be backed up simultaneously, you will need to set a different TFTP port for each switch. Here, it is important that you increase the maximum number of parallel uploads.
