General Access

Release Notes

Disabling context management

The context management feature adds independent device entries for contexts on the device automatically by using the inventory diagnostic. This feature can be disabled by adding the access variable "disable_context" and setting it to true. Disabling the feature will remove any previously created context devices permanently and will result in the inability to directly manage contexts with NA. Changes will take effect the next time the NA Module Status diagnostic task is run.

Retrieve Running Configuration

Release Notes

Get the whole configuration

Many A10 devices support a 'show running-config all-partition' command that includes all default settings in the returned configuration. To retrieve this configuration, set the device access variable "showConfigAll" to "true". Note that the transport protocols do not support this argument.

Driver Discovery

Release Notes

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.
