General Access

Release Notes

Admin level credentials

Default admin level credential is user admin with admin as password.In case this values are to be set to different value use access variables "Volktek_AdminUser" and "Volktek_AdminPass".

Separate username for enable mode

Volktek devices support using a separate named account when entering enable mode from a limited privilege account. If a separate username is required, set the device access variable "enable_username" to contain this account name. If no variable is set and a username prompt is encountered by the 'enable' command, the login username will be used.

Configuration Deployment to Running

Release Notes

Configuration deployment to startup

Configuration Deployment to startup will auto-reboot the device , which might cause post-snapshot to fail if the device is not up within default 90s. To extend the wait time set access variable "deploy_timeout" to desired seconds.

Driver Discovery

Release Notes

CLI Discovery

CLI Discovery fails if TACACS is enabled. SNMP Discovery will be only way to discover driver for a device with tacacs enabled.

More prompt causes an unexpected disconnection

Discovery tasks for Javascript drivers handle More prompts by using timeouts, which can cause problems with the third-party SSH client code, which interprets the timeout as a disconnection. There are two options to work around the problem. Setting the RCX option [<option name="Driver/Discovery/UsePollRead">true</option>] in site_options.rcx will effect the workaround for all affected devices. Alternatively, it could be applied to a single device by setting the device access variable "PollRead" to "true".

Wakeup Ctrl-U character can cause discovery to fail

Discovery tasks for Javascript drivers use wakeup characters are sent during device connection, to ensure that the device is responding. Normally, these characters do not echo to the console, but some devices may echo them. In this case, this causes the prompt detection phase to fail, which in turn can cause More prompts to not be handled properly, and discovery may fail. If these characters are echoed from the device [check the session log to see this], then set the device access variable "skip_ctrl_u" to skip the sending of the wakeup characters. Note that setting this option on a previously working device could cause discovery tasks to fail, but it only affects CLI discovery. SNMP discovery is unaffected.
