Cisco Devices
The following sections discuss prerequisites and limitations of Cisco device management
capabilities.
Setup Prerequisites
You must include the Enable user ID. Omitted enable user IDs may interfere with correct device
management.
You must create Authentication objects for Cisco Switches with an Enable user and password.
Otherwise authentication for Interface level DC login sessions fail. The Cisco Router
authentication rules automatically send the Enable user/password at the interface level.
For IOS devices, access to various system command modes on the device may be defined by
specifying an access privilege level for a user account. Access privilege level 15 is required to access
Enable (privileged) mode. This software requires the user account for authenticating with and
managing a device has a privilege level of 15.
Ensure that user accounts associated with CLI Authentication objects in your system are
configured on the device with privilege level 15. Consult your device’s manuals for additional
information about configuring this privilege level.
CAUTION:
If you upgrade IOS when you have not copied running-config to Startup-config, provisioning services
may fail because of the unexpected device error message below. This message causes “write memory”
command to fail. In the application the user may see a message like “failure to terminate telnet session”
Device message: Warning: Attempting to overwrite an NVRAM configuration previously written by a
different version of the system image. Also: Currently unsupported: Chassis View, Discrete configuration.
Saving Running-Config to Startup Config
To save the running-config to startup-config whenever the router's configuration is updated
uncomment the following in cisco.properties to enable this feature.
#cisco.ios.save.running.config=true
This copying behavior should not be fatal to the configuration that was updated but a job message
displays the failure or success.
NOTE:
Nexus configuration restore to start-up is not supported. When you attempt this, an error including This
command is deprecated
appears on 3000 series devices. On 5000 series, the error is
sysmgr_copy_nvram_dest_action: src uri_type = 1 is not supported
