Ignore XIQ AP from reference image in Site Engine

ØyvindR — Wed, 23 Nov 2022 13:28:41 GMT

When adding XIQ APs to Site Engine for use in ExtremeControl, I can't find how to ignore them from the reference firmware count. As a result, "Devices without reference firmware" is always red and as such unusable as a quality metric.

Is it possible to either ignore them or in some way "fake" a firmware reference matching whatever IQ Engine version they are running?

Hi Øyvind,

you can upload the firmware image to the Site Engine, assign it to the device family, and define the image's version, and mark the image as reverence and your APs running that firmware will be compliant.

Sincerely yours

Hi, is there a way to ignore 3th party equipments from the reference firmware count?

Hi, Zdenek

Thank you, I wasn't aware it was possible to assign manually other than the pre-defined targets in the firmware files. Current version is now accepted as reference by Site Engine.

Best regards,

Hi,

I can confirm that the solution also works with 3rd party. It's not ignore, per se, but you can actually use the reference firmware function. Upload a dummy file and assign it to the 3rd party device family.

for 3rd Party Devices like Fortigate Firewall or Cisco Switches a 'fake' image is working well.
Does anybody know how to get rid of 'unreferenced' 3rd Party Devices, where no Firmware String could be readed. --> Firmware = "".
A 'fake' image where Version is not set is not working.

Hi Zdenek,

Is this still possible? I have searched for fw-image IQEngine.bin but cannot find it.

Best regards,

Hi Hans

XIQ-SE does not perform firmware upgrade to IQEngine APs. you can upload any file there and just mark it as reference image and define the version. In other words the file is a dummy file.

Hope it makes sense

You can also take a real firmware for the AP. Download the firmware from the XIQ and upload it to XIQ-SE, define version and make it a reference image.
