Solved: How to config RME Software Distribution to NOT use telnet--use SSH only to connect to Switch

Gongyuan Yao · ‎03-22-2010

We have LMS 3.2 installed. I am trying to use RME Software Distribution feature to upgrade switches’ IOS. When I went to RME->Software Mgmt->Software Distribution->Distribute by Devices, select one device, then software was doing verification, fail returned. The reason was:

“SWIM5001: Cannot connect to the device 192.168.6.53 using TELNET.”

Telnet has been disabled in all of our switches, we only allow SSHv2. Where can I config the CiscoWorks to not use telnet, and use SSH. I think it should be in Common Service, but just cannot find it.

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

The SWIM transport settings are under RME - Admin - Software Mgmt - View/Edit Preferences, i.e. http://hostname:1741/rme/SwimAdminAction.do
