ALU 7750

Hello All,

I have a custom script that I'm currently trying to implement to backup the configs on some ALU 7750's on our network. The 7750 uses admin display-config in the CLI to display the running configuration. When I try to download the config using NCM, I get an error stating that "Connection Refused Device IP: x.y.z.a"

I've run a session trace and here's what I get:

*** [172.29.60.87] OnClose received, err = 10060

*** [172.29.60.87] OnConnect received, err = 0

and from what it looks like, the CLI is waiting for "any key" input to continue parsing through the config but for some reason NCM doesn't like that.

 

Here's what my device template looks like:

<!-- edited with XML Spy v4.4 U (http://www.xmlspy.com) by () -->
<!--SolarWinds Network Management Tools-->
<!--Copyright 2005 SolarWinds.Net All rights reserved-->
<Configuration-Management Device="Lucent Devices" SystemOID=" 1.3.6.1.4.1.6527.1.3.3">
    <Commands>
        <Command Name="RESET" Value=""/>
        <Command Name="ExitConfigMode" Value="exit"/>
        <Command Name="DownloadConfig" Value="admin display-config"/>
        <Command Name="Version" Value="show system information"/>
        <Command Name="DownloadConfigIndirect" Value="admin display-config"/>
    </Commands>
</Configuration-Management>

 

What do I need to add to the script to have NCM parse through the config without timing out ?

Any input would be gladly appreciated.

  • Ok, I figured it out, it was an issue with paging. In case someone's trying to download configs from the Lucent 7750's here's the command script I've got that worked for me:

                <Command Name="DownloadConfig" Value="admin display-config ${CRLF}"/>
                <Command Name="Version" Value="show system information"/>
                <Command Name="DownloadConfigIndirect" Value="admin display-config"/>
        </Commands>
    </Configuration-Management>

  • To turn off display paging,  use:

    # environment no more

  • looks like i'm a little late for the party....   emoticons_happy.png    but almost 5 years later this template still works like a champ... 

    thanks
