ARUBA 1930 LOGIN and DOWNLOAD TFTP RUNNING CONFIG VIA CURL

[Greg44]

Hi all,

i recently bought an "Aruba Instant On 1930 24G Class4 PoE 4SFP/SFP+ 370W Switch JL684A".

I would like to find a way to backup it, but there is no SSH service inside of it.

So i would like to use curl to login, and then, download via tftp the running-configuration to my tftperver.

Here's the way i try to login :

curl 'http://'$fqdn'/cs4012c633/hpe/config/login.htm' -H "Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded" -d "username=admin&password=${SWITCHESPASS}" -viL -cookie-jar ${COOKIESFILE} -D /tmp/header.txt

the problem is the COOKIEFILE still empty, it doesn't contain the informations that the switch need continue to the tftp download.

here's the cookie file detail :

# Netscape HTTP Cookie File
# https://curl.haxx.se/docs/http-cookies.html
# This file was generated by libcurl! Edit at your own risk.

normaly, it should contain some informations like :

sessionID=192.168.1.142&<ad75462d599370c40da870d119c407d6> (for exemple)...

What is the thing i do wrong in my curl command ?

thnak's you very much for people who can help me !
