Setting up the SSH for the network gear discovery

Hi All,

 

My problem statement are mentioned below:

Actually I want to use the SSH credentials for the network gear discovery. My SSH credentials is validated successfully.

But when I tried to run the quick discovery for the target device I am unable to perform discovery and getting "Active, couldn't classify". 

 

But I checked "SSH(22) Port is open

 

Thanks,

Ashish Kumar Rai

Hi @AR385010 ,

 

Go for SNMP Discovery to discovery any network gears instead of SSH. Define the OIDs in the snmp oid ci classification.

Hi @Sohail Khilji 

 

Thanks for the your input but our requirement is to proceed with SSH and device doesn't support the SSH things.

 

What your opinion regarding that?

Hi @AR385010,

 

Make sure tcp port 22 is open for ssh. or create a dedicated behaviour for ssh and try. Make sure creds are configured properly ... I hope that helps..

@AR385010 I woudl start with putty (IP + Port 22) connection from MID to Network device and troubleshoot.
