IOS-XR Support for NCM

rohnishka over 5 years ago

I am curious if anyone has managed to get NCM to successfully backup/restore both the regular and admin configurations for IOS-XR devices. If you have, what does your Device Template look like, as I'm trying to figure it out. I wasn't able to locate a pre-made template for this flavor of Cisco OS, so I'm currently creating a new one. My apologies if I missed a post about this somewhere, however I was not able to locate a related post for this.

The specific devices that I'm looking to backup are Cisco ASR 9906 and 9910 models, but this request should be applicable to any device that runs IOS-XR, not just the 9900 series.

Thanks for helping out!

Hi, at the moment we are just backing up the normal configuration. We have modified the IOS so 'running' is the normal 'show running' while the startup version is the same but with formal added. Do the same with Juniper where running is 'show configuration' and the startup is 'show configuration | display set'. The running is used for comparisons/rules while the startup is used to restore the configuration.

Hi, I have device templates which I will upload hopefully shortly for ASR9006 and ASR9010. They are different because they have different SystemOIDs so the auto-detect will work. You can use just the one if they are manually assifned. They download four different versions 'Startup', 'Running', 'Admin Startup, and 'Admin Running'. The admin types will have to be added as extra type to NCM via NCM Settings. The Startup downloads include 'formal'. We use Running for comparing/searching etc and Starup for recovery.
One issue if you have Startup and Running, NCM detects they are different and puts them in the Change list and it you do a report it says everything is changed,
I am still working on a NCS6K template but strangely Cisco did not do the same thing twice.

That seems to be what I've been seeing. We currently only use the download function for now, so this will work perfectly. Thanks for helping out!

has anyone managed to get "environment power-supply" information out of ASR 9010?
I can not monitor the PowerSupply's of ASR 9010 with the Hardware Sensors of NPM??
