export/current-config/cli returns "API endpoint is incomplete"

davetapley · November 2020

Per the swagger docs, I'm trying to hit /api/sonicos/export/current-config/cli, but when I do I get :

{
  "status": {
    "success": false,
    "info": [
      {
        "level": "error",
        "code": "E_INVALID_API_CALL",
        "message": "API endpoint is incomplete."
      }
    ]
  }
}

I've tried using both Basic Auth, and Bearer Token (via the Swagger interface), both cause the same error.

Is this a case of bad / missing documentation? If so how do a get a dump of the config via the API?

Hello @davetapley,

Unfortunately on Gen 6 appliances, the API support is partial. I think exporting the settings file is not supported using API.

Please take a look at the API reference guide for the same. It has examples on the supported calls.

Thanks!

Hi @davetapley,

you could do it via the SSH, or if you want another way you can use the https://migratetool.global.sonicwall.com/

you just import your current exp config and export as a CLI file.

export current-config cli ftp ftp://username:password@hostname/sonic-cli.txt

or ftp://hostname/firmware/sonic-cli.wri
