Juniper Switches scanning incorrectly

[sjdunfee]

When performing IP range scanning the Juniper SSH appears to be logging in correctly but the name of the device reports back as "err: unknown command: uname" and gives no valid information. How do we get Juniper switches to report correctly since they don't seem to respond to the standard SSH commands given by Lanwseeper?

This is for On-premise Lansweeper v 12.6.0.12

Dear,

Switches, and other network devices are mainly scanned with SNMP. While you can connect to most of them with SSH, this will not provide the specific information you would need to see. Please have a look in our documentation on how to scan network devices with SNMP credentials.

Now that the device is scanned with SSH, I can't get it to go back to scanning with SNMP. How do I force it to use SNMP again?
