Change detection & Startup config on a catalyst IOS swit
Hi there, just wondering if anyone is able to help with this. it seems like when real-time change detection is enabled on a catalyst ios switch, DeviceExpert can detect changes in running-config and make backups, but it is not able to detect changes in startup-config. if "copy run start" is issued right after changing the running-config, the startup-config does get backed up (guess when DE detect running-config change, it also attempts to backup startup-config as well). thanks! -Eddie
Catalyst switches
I am testing the DeviceExpert and comparing some of the functions against CiscoWorks. One thing that I noticed is that DE does not support Cat 6500 switches, why? Is it because I am demo-ing the product?
LDAP SSL mode
The help documentation indicates I can import the certificate of our LDAP server with a shell script located in '<DeviceExpert_SERVER_HOME>\bin' called 'importCert.sh'. On my installation (build 5100 on Linux) this script isn't present anywhere in the DE installation directory, is there another procedure to use to import our certificate?
SCP questions
I am working with the new SCP functionality in the 5100 build and have run into a couple issues. 1. So far I have backups working properly using SSH - SCP protocol, but I've noticed for configuration uploads via the 'drafts' feature that TFTP instead of SCP is used to transfer the draft configuration to the device. Is there a way to have SCP used for uploading configurations? 2. For devices of type 'CiscoSwitch', SSH - SCP protocol is not available, even though many Cisco switches support SSH these
Error testing credentials Cisco AS5300
Hello, I've got a problem authenticating on a Cisco as5300. Testing credentials fails with all checks invalid, but I can connect to host with putty without any problem. This is what I've got when logging on the device: User Access Verification Username: admin Password: RM-RAS-R-5300-1>enable Password: RM-RAS-R-5300-1# In the credentials I put the following: Login Name : admin Password : ****** Prompt : > Enable UserName : Enable Password : ****** Enable Prompt : # Where I'm wrong? Thanks Matteo Brioschi
Catalyst 4500
We have a number of Cisco Catalyst 4500's in our network. The first line of the startup config always has information about configuration compression. The running config does not have that line. Consequently all 4500's fail the Startup-Running Config test. Since they always fail it isn't possible to tell whether a real conflict exists. Is there a work around for this? Disabling configuration compression is not possible. I've included an example of the line in the startup config below. Best Regards,

Use a different syslog server
Hi, I am evaluating Device Expert and I would like it to use a syslog server (kiwi) sitting on a different server. The reason for this is to avoid increasing the bandwidth usage for the syslog traffic. I suspect that it is possible as there is a "bind" option in the settings but I have not found how to do that. Can you help ? Thanks in advance
$CHANGEDBY not working
All changes and change notifcations contain "Unknown" in the changed by field. I have verified that the Changed By field is being send in the syslog message as part of the Change Detection, but all notifications contain do not show the correct change by user.

timeout on copying running-config
Is there a way that we can change the timeout on the running-config? our config is about 71KB and it's taking very long to do a "show run". DeviceExpert managed to copy the startup-config but not the running-config so the backup failed. Any idea either to speed the show run or lengthen the time out? Thank you

scp instead of tftp ?
Hi, I just started to play with DeviceExpert and I'm really impressed so far ! The only thing that I didn't find is a way to transfer the config in a safer way than "tftp"... We usually do something like "scp username@123.123.123.123:running-config /tmp/Router.conf" to fetch the config from the router to our management server... Is there a way to do something similar with DeviceExpert ? Any other workaround that we could use to avoid having the config traveling in clear-text ?
Scheduled Device Backup
I am having issues with some of my scheduled backups. I have thirty seven devices being backed up and for some reason fifteen of them fail each time. I can successfully back them up manually and I have checked all the credentials and they all are correct. I have no idea where it fails or what is causing it. Can you help?

DeviceExpert could not be accessed from remote computer
Hi, I am trying the device expert and found that I could not access the system from remote computer. For example, I could access the Device Expert from subnet 10.66.128.0/24 but could not access from another subnets. It seems that there is some specific settings that I do not know to restrict the access. Could you please help to figure out? Looking forward to hear your solution. Thanks a lot in advance.

Script execution timeout
First of all I would like to say that this product is fantastic. We are going to purchase a 200 user license this week. We have managed netscreens, cisco's & fortinet devices. The addition of the ability to execute commands from a secure will make the management of our devices a piece of cake. I am attempting to use the script execution for something i am sure it was not originally designed and i am having troubles. It is possible to update juniper netscreen firmware via a telnet or secure shell

Hi, should I buy device expert for 500 nodes, do I need to renew the license every year? If yes, do you have an option for one-time purchase (no annual license renewal) as compared with the competing products.
