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>
<Command Name="ALLOCATEPTY" Value="True" />
<Command Name="MENUBASED" Value="False" />
<Command Name="RESET" Value="terminal length 1000" />
<Command Name="DOWNLOADCONFIG" Value="show config" />
</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.
I did but it does not work. mind you I am trying to learn some of this stuff. this thing does not have anything as "sh version" or anything that will show the whole config. even though the template from the wizard works when I validate it.
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....
