General Access

Release Notes

SSH protocol error

SSH returns a protocol error through our SSH library. Thus, SSH cannot be used to connect to the device. More research is being done to allow this communication to occur.

Suggested value for terminal length

The device configuration supports virtually any positive integer value for terminal length. However, the suggested value should be greater than 25 as the device could potentially lock up with smaller values. The terminal length is set by default to 50, and can be modified from the 'prompt_length' variable.

Configuration Deployment Requirements

The configuration is deployed line by line using the CLI session. However the Enterasys Matrix has been seen to refuse configuration options that are part of its configuration set. If this occurs, the deployment task may fail.

Workaround:

Utilize Edit & Deploy to minimize the amount of configuration options being uploaded to the device. If possible, only change a subset of the configuration instead of deploying the entire configuration.

Configuration Deployment with radius server

When deploying a configuration containing a radius server, the device might ask the user to provide the server secret.

Workaround:

The user can set the custom device access setting radius_secret to add the desired radius server secret. If this variable is not set, the task will fail.

Syslog Configuration and Change Detection

Release Notes

Syslog Server Usage

The device requires that a syslog server index be used to identify a syslog server. Therefor, the NAS system must utilize an index in the server table. The NAS system will default to using the 8th slot.

Workaround:

The user can set the variable syslogIndex to another number if this behavior should be overridden.

ACL Parsing

Release Notes

The device supports two types of ACLs in two different device modes

Enterasys devices may contain policy rules configurable in the enable mode and also access lists managed from the router mode. When trying to edit a policy rule the driver will have to enter into the enable mode, therefor the three "exit" commands are required in the Acl edit script.
