any ideas? Avaya support can’t figure it out. Our code is too old.

You can use any IP address that’s configured on the ERS 8600, assuming you can ping it.

The management port on the CPU/SF is really meant as an out-of-band interface. You can manage he switch (in-band) using any IP interface configured on it.

Cheers!

i’ll do that link commands but which ip adress use for on jdm

thanks for your help

Hi Mikail,

As long as you don’t have an access policy or ACL you can enable SNMP and you should be good to go.

Cheers!

We have a ERS8600 i can use jdm in only management port but i want to use jdm in vlan 1 or 5
how can i use jdm which ip i use
for example,
vlan 1 10.0.0.1/255.255.0.0
vlan 5 15.0.0.1/255.255.0.0
but i can’t use for management ip 10.0.1.1 or 15.0.1.1
what can i do

We are currently running Nortekl 8600s 5.1 with VRFs implemented. I have a few questions in regards to the SNMP configurations in regards to VRFs. I was hoping you might have an idea or two.

I am wanting to configure different SNMP communities for the different VRFs.

1st I have noticed, I can not view the existing snmp community names, they’re all “asterixes” out. How can I view the current snmp communities ?

2nd Is it possible to assign different SNMP communities for different VRFs.

The thing is : I can only see what SNMP config. for the whole 8600, and not for the different VRFs.

I have gone over various Nortel docs, but they really only refer to SNMPv3.

Any advice would be most welcome.

Thank you

Kind Regards

Ryan

I know Brett as well – I worked at Nortel for 10 years working on management solutions for MSS (aka Passport) 6K, 7K, 15K switches. If anyone ever needs any help with MDM give me a shout! So, yes, I’ve been using CLImanager extensively for many years – batch files, CLI*Script files, Java plugins, etc. If anyone needs any help with CLImanager let me know.

Hi IanNorm,
Could you please share me some script or document of CLIManager?
I would like to catch the result from a command but I don’t know how to do that.

my mail: ngocvinh1906@yahoo.com

I’m using CLImanager and trying to write a script to login to UNIX machine. I’ve input the username/passwd via script but not lucky.

cmd (“telnet 10.10.10.10”);

waitfor(“login: “)
send(“test”);
waitfor(“Password: “)
send(“test”);

The CLImanager hangs at the login prompt and does nothing.
Please let me know who can I use this way to connect to my machine.

Thanks and Regards,
Nvinh

Hi IanNorm,

You’ve stumbled onto a gem with CLImanager. When we had Nortel Passport 6480/7480 ATM switches we used CLImanager to help manage them. I haven’t used CLImanager recently but it could certainly accomplished the task (I’m not sure how many switches it could configure at once). I’ve personally just become accustom to writing Expect scripts on a CentOS Linux server. For anyone that’s not familiar with Except, then CLImanager might be a nice alternative. You actually don’t need to even script anything. CLImanager will literally login to multiple switches at one time, you issue a single command and it will pass that command on to every switch that you are logged into, pretty neat stuff. I know the author of CLImanager, Brett Sinclair, and he’s a very sharp fellow.

Cheers!

Have you used CLImanager (freebie from Nortel – https://app23.nortelnetworks.com/climanager/)? It is easy to connect to multiple devices and issue the commands to all connected devices. Or put the commands in a script and run it against a list of devices.

Let me know if you need any more info.

Ian

Let me dig up a sample Expect script and post it here…

Here’s an Expect script that will configure the Daylight Saving Time on the Nortel 460,470,2500,4500,5500,5600 switches. You can easily adopt this script to reset the SNMP community strings as oppose to reconfiguring the date/time.

Expect Script: set-nortel-timezone.exp.txt

Bash Script that calls Expect script: set-nortel-timezone.sh.txt.

You can read more about it in this post; http://blog.michaelfmcnamara.com/2008/07/expect-script-daylight-saving-time.

Cheers!

Regards,

Hi Gbenga,

I’ve written a few Expect scripts that essentially telnet into the switches and then issue the appropriate CLI commands.

If you are familiar with Linux I could provide you a few examples.

Cheers!

Very informative blog you have…. I’d like to be able to change snmp strings for quite a number of ES470s and ERS8600s. Do you have a script or tool you have used in the past to accomplish the same ?

Thank you for your time.

Hi Tom,

While I won’t disagree with you, I’m not surethere’s an absolute need for SNMP v3 within a private corporate network. It’s roughly akin to using SSH as opposed to telnet for remote CLI access. I’d be happy with people just changing the default SNMP community strings.

In any case I hope to cover how to configure SNMP v3 in the next post and then SSH in subsequent posts.

Thanks for the comment!
