Find the list of device where NCM is taking the backup by telnet protocol

Hi,

Recently i got one question to find the list of device in network environment, where NCM is taking the backup by telnet protocol.

##Generally telnet is not a good protocol for device communication or backup, everyone is using the SSH now days , but some are devices available with old module/ Old IOS, which are not supporting the telnet, that's why we are using the telnet protocol to take backup from NCM.##

but the question is how to find the list?

So i use the below table in DB to get the list of connection profile/protocol. here we have three column mainly, ExceProtocol, CommandProtocol, transferProtocol. CoreNodeId,

SELECT TOP 10000 * FROM [dbo].[NCM_NodeProperties]

you ran the report and get the complete report ouput in excel then use filter in ExceProtocol column by TELNET. now you get the list of all device where NCM is taking the backup through TELNET.

The CodeNodeID doesn't give you much information.  I would link it back to the node table (this example is using swql)

select

n.Caption as [Node]

,c.ExecProtocol as [ExecProtocol]

,c.CommandProtocol as [CommandProtocol]

,c.TransferProtocol as [TransfterProtocol]

from Orion.Nodes n

join Cirrus.NodeProperties c on c.CoreNodeID=n.nodeid
