To manage Ciena 4200 devices, the Enable Admin and Enable Privilege passwords must be identical.
Only global SNMP community strings (communities that have a host parameter set to 'ALL') can be managed by the Deploy Password task.
SNMP community strings with a host parameter set to 'ALL' cannot be modified or deleted.
The Telnet Discovery task will fail if multiple password rules are defined and the password rule used to connect to the device is not explicitly selected.
Only the binary configuration is deployed when running the Deploy Config task.
To save a configuration to non-volatile memory, a "Synchronize Startup and Running" task must be manually executed. The configuration will not be saved automatically.
Update Device Software task is implemented using a FTP server from which the software image is retrieved.
NA does not provide an FTP server. You must install a custom FTP server. The following instructions describe how to configure NA to use a custom FTP server.
Note that the FTP server needs to be installed on the same system running NA.
1. Setup a nasftp account. The home directory must be NA tftpdroot. Enter:
# chmod o+rx $NA/server/ext
# chmod -R o+rx $NA/server/ext/tftp
# useradd -d $NA/server/ext/tftp/tftpdroot nasftp
# passwd nasftp
Replace $NA with the root directory where NA is installed.
Verification: Login to the account and do a pwd and check that the home directory is correct.
2. Setup FTP on the NA host machine.
3. Setup a password rule for the device on the Device Access page:
Custom Setting Value
ftp_username nasftp
ftp_password nasftp
4. Configure NA to ignore saved passwords so that new ones will take effect. On the Batch Edit Device page, scroll down to the Reset Last Used Passwords field. Click the checkbox and click the Save button.
Note that the ftp_username and ftp_password values do not have to be nasftp. You can use any username and password. The account's home directory must be: $NA/server/ext/tftp/tftpdroot To configure NA so the value of the ftp_password is not displayed when editing the device access settings, in the Password Rule do the following: 1. Modify $NA/jre/adjustable_options.rcx and add the following lines near the bottom of the file anywhere before
the final /options tag:
<array name="drivers/standard_access_vars/internal_names">
<value>exec_prompt</value>
<value>enable_prompt</value>
<value>config_prompt</value>
<value>priv_exec_prompt</value>
<value>prompt</value>
<value>su_prompt</value>
<value>admin_prompt</value>
<value>ti_prompt</value>
<value>banner_skip</value>
<value>standard_timeout</value>
<value>long_timeout</value>
<value>very_long_timeout</value>
<value>TFTPInterface</value>
<value>use_securid</value>
<value>Passport8000OSDeploy</value>
<value>ftp_password</value>
</array>
<array name="drivers/standard_access_vars/friendly_names">
<value>Exec mode prompt</value>
<value>Enable mode prompt</value>
<value>Config mode prompt</value>
<value>Privileged exec prompt</value>
<value>Standard prompt</value>
<value>Superuser prompt</value>
<value>Admin prompt</value>
<value>TI prompt</value>
<value>Banner skip regex</value>
<value>Standard timeout</value>
<value>Long timeout</value>
<value>Very long timeout</value>
<value>PIX TFTP interface</value>
<value>Use SecurID</value>
<value>Passport 8000 OS</value>
<value>ftp password</value>
</array>
2. Enter 'reload server options' command in the NA Proxy. You can now choose "ftp password" from the menu in the Device Access Settings and NA will not display the value for the password when entered. 2. Enter the command 'reload server options' in the NA Proxy.
3. You can now choose "ftp password" from the menus in the Device Access Settings and NA will not display
the value for the password when you enter it.
Before attempting to upgrade or downgrade device software using the NA Software Center, be sure to consult your device vendor documentation for compatibility issues. Note that the following commands are executed when upgrading/downgrading device software: "copy sw-upgrade from address <ip_address> <file_name> user <user_name> overwrite yes" "activate sw fw-update yes init no state enable"
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".
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.
