Bulk export/import of configurations to external system Merged

Currently, the system supports configuration export and import only on a per-device basis. In large-scale environments managing thousands of network devices, this limitation creates significant operational overhead and manual effort.

There is no native capability to:

Export configurations for multiple devices in bulk

Import configurations in bulk to external systems

Automating large-scale configuration archival or integration workflows

    Dear Team,

    To clarify my idea,
    We would like to know if there is a workaround that allows us to execute a set of interrogation native command sets, such as:

    show configuration | display set | no-more

    show configuration | display set | count

    show interfaces terse

    show isis adjacency

    show ldp neighbor

    show bgp summary

    show bfd session

    on a list of devices and collect the output into a single file for each device.

    We believe this functionality could be customized if there is a way to execute these commands through the ITNCM CLI or by running a script on the NCM server that invokes the interrogation command sets.
