[alexu]

Hi all,
i'am trying to make pancho work on Nortel 5510-24T switch
it has same MIB's like the other bystack's (at least like 450-24T that i have and all works well with him).
i changed line in Baystack.pm file to get pancho recognize him.
So plugin are running but i get error :

error: [1891] Net::SNMP::__ANON__(): Received wrongValue(10) error-status at error-index 2
ERROR (nortel_giga): Plugin Baystack - can't trigger transfer operation.

Any help?

You can post your problem in the pancho website http://www.pancho.org/maillist.html. The creator of pancho is very helpfull.

PS: But I am preparing a new release of configmanager with a pure PHP/Net-SNMP TFTP interface, if you can wait I finish my new PHP-Network-class. Send me your mib file in order I check if my classes would support it.

PS2: An other possibility is to use the telnet method in the "multi" part of configmanager.

I'm just curious whether you've managed to make pancho work with Nortel 55x0?

Yup I got Pancho working on my 5510's and 5520's. The biggest problem was that there is a 30 character limit to the filename that you can download. This is a Nortel limitation. This includes any subdirectories that you may have in your TFTP server.

My host names are IP addresses which lead to me having the same problem you were having with Pancho trying to trigger the transfer option. For example, if my switch's IP address is 10.150.122.12 and I'm trying to save to /configmanager on my TFTP server, using ::HOST::.::DATE::.cfg as my file name style that would make my download filename /configmanager/10.150.122.12.20061226.cfg which is 41 characters. This is way past the 30 character limit for the Nortel switches. So I had to shorten my /configmanager directory to cm (yeah I dropped the leading / to save a character) and now my filename is cm/10.150.122.12.20061226.cfg which is 29 characters. Just inside the 30 character limit.

Hope this helps.

Oh yeah, and the other thing is that you need to modify the Baystack.pm module to support the 5500 series of switches. Here is the snippet of the post that pepj mentioned that I made,

• I needed to modify the Baystack.pm module for Pancho for my Nortel 5500 series of switches. Easy enough to do, find

  Code: Select all

  my %types = (
                BayStack => "Nortel/Baystack family",
               'Business Policy Switch 2000' => "Nortel/Baystack family"
              );

  and change it to

  Code: Select all

  my %types = (
                BayStack => "Nortel/Baystack family",
               'Business Policy Switch 2000' => "Nortel/Baystack family",
               'Ethernet Routing Switch 55' => "Nortel/Baystack family"
              );
