Network Device Scanning

[paladium]

Hello!

We would like to scan our network devices and have entered the correct SSH credentials. The network device refuses the credentials. Lansweeper reports that there was an error while scanning "Could not connect to SSH with credentials..."

The SSH account is set up to allow:

show running-config
show version
show inventory

We confirmed the credentials are correct using Putty, which connects just fine.

Thoughts?

Lansweeper only uses SSH to scan Linux and Apple MAC devices. Sounds like it is a cisco switch you are trying to scan which will need at least read only SNMP credentials setup within Lansweeper.

The web has loads of examples of the IOS commands but the following is a start for testing. Replace the word public with something more obscure if you want it to be a little more secure (or work out the SNMP v2 syntax)

Router(config)#snmp-server community public RO

Hope it helps
