XMC and Reload Device action

[dsireseau]

Hi,

I have two question about "reload device" function in "configure" screen which allows to upload switches running's configuration into xmc's database.


A) Do somebody knows any reason why "reload device" action takes about 5 minutes to finish on a X440-G2 and just 15 seconds on a A-series ?
Sometimes it takes more than 10 minutes.


All devices configured with snmpV3
same vlan, same ip subnet
Summit X440 version : 22.7.1.2
A4 version : 06.81.10.0001
XMC version 8.3.1.9


 Is there a way to schedule reload every day by a script to ensure xmc database in always up-to-date in case of changes by ssh cli (port config or vlan creation)


Thanks for your replies.

Hello, thanks for your reply.

Are you talking about dns configured on OS side ?
If yes, it looks like ok :
$nslookup 10.2.1.22 (switch IP)
22.1.2.10.in-addr.arpa name = sw22.mat.dom

Https is disabled on exos but tcpdump shows https attempts during reload and many snmp requests.

could snmpv3 process be less efficient on Exos than on A4 ?

B)
It looks like the scripts you pointed to me are workflows but I can't import anything in workflow menu

Hi Cedric.

Please check if your DNS service on XMC is working. (if EXOS does have HTTP disabled and HTTPs enabled and the DNS is not reachable then the issue was already reported by other customer = ticket number: 01902957)

Yes you create API call to refresh all your devices on request, see similar workflow Refresh Neighbor Devices
