Retrieve Running Configuration

Release Notes

Device configuration consists of diagnostic results and cannot be deployed

The device does not have any canonical configuration file or output, so TrueControl captures the output of a number of device diagnostics that provides information about the device's current configuration.

This collected information is not in a format that can be restored to the device directly. Therefore configuration deployment is not supported.

Password Management

Release Notes

Change password task may fail, but appear to succeed

In order to change the password for a user, the user supplied to TrueControl must exist. TrueControl will not create a new user account and create a password for it. However, TrueControl may report a successful password change for such a user since the device does not report a problem with TrueControl's attempt.

User's password and SNMP community cannot be changed at the same time

The operating system on the device associates users with levels (such as manager, monitor, security) and associates an SNMP community with a user account. An SNMP community cannot exist without an associated user account. When changing passwords, the operating system offers to change the SNMP string at the same time. TrueControl does not modify the SNMP string for the user whose password was just changed.

Custom Scripts and Diagnostics

Release Notes

Multi-line commands are ignored by the device

The device will ignore multi-line commands (commands that require multiple lines of input before returning to the device prompt). So issuing a command like:
  snmp comm\r\nc1\r\n
will result in the execution of the "snmp comm" command, but everything else on this command line will be ignored.

Workaround:

The device will automatically fill any any subsequent prompting of a command with the next item on the original command line. So the command:
  snmp comm c1
will automatically answer the first prompt from the "snmp comm" command with "c1". Note that in order to get the device to properly return to a device prompt (and thereby not result in a failed script) an answer to every prompt the command may issue must be provided on the original command line.

Syslog Configuration and Change Detection

Release Notes

Real-time change detection available only through Telnet/SSH proxy

The device does not support syslog or AAA and therefore cannot provide any real-time change detection through those means. The telnet/SSH proxy is the only mechanism in TrueControl that will result in automatic detection of changes to the device configuration.
