Selecting non-crypto IOS devices

KAROLY KOHEGYI · ‎10-30-2008

Hi,

Our more than 1500 devices are managed by LMS. Most of them use crypto IOS but some of them don't. How can i select from inventory ( report or group selection ) the devices which do not use crypto IOS.

We have to upgrade them and introduce the SSH to its.

Thanks in advance!

You can build a user-defined group in RME for this. For example, to match IOS devices which are running non-crypto images, this ruleset should work:

Device.Image.Sys_Description contains "IOS" EXCLUDE

Device.Image.Sys_Description contains "k9"

Hi,

Thanks. It is usable mainly for routers.

The following IOS description of 2950 switch is the following.

c2950-i6k2l2q4-mz.121-22.EA9.bin

it's crypto IOS. May be does "k" mean the crypto??

Yes, images with a 'k' (usually "k9") indicates crypto.

The problem is, the description can contain another 'k', and the image may not be a crypto image. You can try just matching on 'k', but you may have to tweak things if you get a false-positive.

Hi,

Yes,yes it is my problem.

If it is possible please develop this filter possibilty in the RME or LMS in the following patch. :-)

Thanks!

You can make this request through your account team. They can open a PERS (Product Enhancement) request on your behalf.

You can also try this pattern which should properly match more non-crypto IOS devices:

Device.Image.Sys_Description contains "IOS" EXCLUDE

Device.Image.Sys_Description contains "k9" EXCLUDE

Device.Image.Sys_Description contains "k2" EXCLUDE

Device.Image.Sys_Description contains "k8"
