Retrieve Running Configuration

Release Notes

Changes in community strings not detected

The BlueCoat ProxySG encrypts community strings in its configuration. This encryption scheme results in a changed encrypted community string with every snapshot. These changes are masked out to prevent every snapshot from indicating a change, but actual changes to community strings will therefore not be detected.

Capture of brief configuration

By default, the BlueCoat driver captures the expanded configuration using the command 'show config expanded noprompts'. If the brief configuration is sufficient, it can instead be captured using the command 'show config brief noprompts'. To select this option, set the access variable "brief_config" to "true".

Driver Discovery

Release Notes

Unable to discover driver via telnet

The BlueCoat ProxySG has a default banner for telnet logins that causes driver discovery to fail to recognize the device. As a result, discovery via telnet will always fail on the BlueCoat ProxySG. Discovery via SNMP or SSH will work correctly.
