NCM template for Transition switches

Has anyone created a template to download configs from Transition switches?? I'm using NCM 7.3.2 and used the template utility available from Solarwinds. I'm able to test my connection with no problem but the template does not download the config.

Antonio,

Can you provide the same of the config template and also provide what type of config you are trying to download. Example running, startup or if these devices have a Linux type operating system. Normally you have to think of what type of device it is an how you would connect to and interact with the appliance via Putty.

Adam,

This is the template create by the wizards:

<Configuration-Management Device="Transition Engineering Inc" SystemOID="1.3.6.1.4.1.868.2.6 ">

</Commands>

</Configuration-Management>

The wizard does show the config when I test it. It is when I try to use it in NCM that does not work with the following error:

"Connectivity issues. discarding configuration (or configuration is too short). Device IP:x.x.x.x"

This devices have both HTTP and CLI interface. Their config are .cfg type files. I'm not sure but they don't appears to have a linux type OS. Their CLI looks like a barebone cisco IOS but with very limited, and I mean limited options.

Antonio,

My question are their any prompts right after you log in to enter a key or hit OK or something?

It does give you the ">" then, once you go into enable mode you get "#"

Did you ever get this working? I am try to now. if I SSH into the switch, enter "username [enter] password [enter] system configuration all" I get the config. Any way to get these configs to download into NCM without doing manual uploads?

Nope, I do have just over 150 switches with 3 different models and some of them I'm able to test connection on NCM and other none at all. I had tried different aproach to no avail. Ended up writing the commads into notepad and pasting it into each switch individually. pain in the you know what....
