Nortel 460/470/5510 etc

Hi,

I just installed Cirrus to test if it can do what im looking for, and came across a problem with my nortel switches. I work in a large network so i got the above types (and other pasports). I tried searching this forum and every post i came across was either deleted or non-existant.

My problem is simple, when i try to login to any of my nortel switches it gets stuck on the menu. He logs in, then times out. What do i have to do to get this fixed so i can download my config files.

Thanx in advance.

Peter,

Cirrus should have no problems managing the Nortel 460s, 470s, and 5510s. The only requirement is that they have the cli interface enabled. Once the cli interface is enabled, the Nortel Passport 5510 device template should work for all 3 device types. To select the Nortel Baystack 5510 device template for the 460s and 470s, simply double-click on a device, move to the Communication section of the Device Details, and select Nortel Baystack5510 template for the Device Command Template field.

Hi Haley,

Its probably my bad, but i (think) i got CLI enabled, atleast i got the menu option when i telnet to a switch, and can use it fine too. I had set the 'device command template' to nornet 5510 also .. it just gets stuck on the menu .. i have added a screenshot to show you where it goes wrong.

Would you mind taking a quick look ? Thanks in advance!

For most baystack Nortel devices, the method to enable the command line interface is as follows:

Login to the device
choose command line from the menu system
type cmd-interface cli
logout
log back in

Please let me know if this changes the way the screen after login appears.
