Problem with arhive management with SSH!

[vladimirtegeltija]

Hello, if someone knows how to handle it, please replay.

I have issue with arhive management in RME 4.3.0 and 2960 LANLITE switches.

It can not poll or fetch configuration from these switches or deploy with NetConfig.

Transport protocol for archive management and NetConfig is SSH. SSH on switches

is configured correctly as I can connect with normal client. I investigated about this problem,

it seems like that the problem is with SSH authentication metod. It shows me some

kinde of error for SSH : unknown authentication metod: keyboard-interactive. Here

is some output from log file :

This isn't a real error.  The most likely cause is wrong credentials for the device in DCR.  Enable Archive Mgmt Service debugging undeR

RME > Admin > System Preferences > Application Log Level Settings, then re-run the Sync Archive job, and post the dcmaservice.log.

Hello Joe and thanks for your time,

I checked out credentials in DCR as you said and

they are correct. Here you are some output from dcmaservice log

with debugging level on ArchiveMagement.

Write me if you find out something,

thanks in advance.

It does not appear this device is supported by LMS yet.  What is its sysObjectID?

Hello Joe and thanks for your time.

I checked out immediately for device support in RME as you said,

and you were right, it is not supported. I connected to cisco.com and

download new device packages for catalyst 2960. Problem solved, forks fine!

Thanks a lot and I will give you "correct answer" and few points from me

for solving my problem.
