Hello,
I have installed ANM 5.2 virtual appliance.
I have an issue importing a Catalyst 6500 device.
When I try to import it, I get the following error:
Device discovery failed: Cannot communicate to the device.
Authentication failure while attempting to connect. Verify the device
type and credentials.
I double verified and the credentials are correct.
I user SSH version 2.
I use the following special carachters in the password:
"!" and space.
I don't use enable password to connect to the 6500 device. The 6500 device has a privilege 15 username.
In ANM, the enable password is a requirement so I just fill in the regular password.
I think the issue is appearing due to one of the following:
1.) The ANM does not support the special carachters I use in the 6500 password.
2.) Then ANM requires enable password, while I don't use enable password in the 6500 switch.
The 6500 runs SXI6 software version.
I can't configure an enable password or configure a test username without special carachters beacause it's against the organization's policy.
Does anyone familiar with this issue?
