Alteon with Cirrus

Question

Has anyone gotten Cirrus to work with the Alteon Application switch. The CLI is more menu driven than Cisco. For example /cfg/slb/group 2.

An Alteon device template was created and placed in the Content Sharing Zone within Thwack.  If you need to backup Alteon devices, you can simply download the template and save it to your ..\Program Files\SolarWinds\Configuration Management\DeviceTypes folder.

I confirmed with Nortel that this the menu driven interface is the only option. I only have one production device and can't give access to Support to test scripts on it as the level of access necessary is full admin rights.

I will check with Nortel to see if this can be disabled. The other problem with my Nortel switches that I have is they require a Ctrl+Y in order to get to a logon prompt. Once logged in it goes to a traditional CLI. There is no way to bypass this Ctrl+Y. The last time I talked to support they were working on this feature. Any word on if they are any closed to it?
