SSH to a linux server

[Jose_Chaves]

Hi,

I trying to make a workflow in XMC. One part of the workflow includes making a ssh to a linux box and run some commands.

I try to import paramiko but I get a treceback saying that the modulo does not exist.

How can I do a ssh to a linux box from a XMC workflow?

Regards,

Jose Chaves

Hello Jose,

the easiest way is to add the linux box to XMC like a network device. Create a SNMP profile and a CLI profile.

If your box do not use SNMP (what I assume) set the “Poll Type” to “Not polled” in the device configuration. With these setting you will not receive SNMP alarms.

=> After that you should be able to access your linux box via “right mouse->terminal”.

Now you can access your device like a switch via scripting or workflows.
