Network Management

Hows it going folks?

I have a question and it might be a noob one at that.

I am unable to remotely access a 6300 switch.

I can ping the IP address of the switch and tracert works fine. I can get to the WebUI of the switch. I do not have the login creds so I am not able to log in through the WebUI. When I try to putty into the switch I get a time out. I am not able to discover the device when I try to use NetEdit and we are not in Central yet. I do not know if we have the loopback configured so I do not know if that will work.

Once I am in the switch all I can think of to check is the ssh server to see if it is on the right vrf. Anything else anybody can think of to try to troubleshoot not being able to remote into the switch?

Yeah. Usual susspects ssh server on wrong vrf or not enabled at all, ACLs that maybe limit access to management.

Try to configure mgmt port for management. 

Best, Gorazd

Below CLI context is default enabled and should give you access to CLI and HTTPs.

ssh server vrf default
ssh server vrf mgmt
https-server vrf default
https-server vrf mgmt

Be sure there are no firewall rules between your client vlan and switch management vlan.

Questions:

• • Source IP
  • Destination IP
  • Firewall between client IP and Switch?
  • Firmware level? (suggest latest LSR release)
  • Any ACLs configured on the switch?

Yeah,

 I will have to see once I can get those login credentials what it tells me.
