External error in the NED implementation for device

[kumarabhi84]

Getting below error during sync-from operation on production device:

{

  "tailf-ncs:output": {

    "result": false,

    "info": "External error in the NED implementation for device ABCD: failed to enter admin mode, missing 'connection admin password' ned-setting"

  }

}

Please help me with the solution.

Hi, do you have the correct authgroup attached to your device? See https://developer.cisco.com/docs/nso/guides/#!network-element-drivers-and-adding-devices/device-authentication

Hi Marcel, I'm using same Authgroup for other device it working fine.

I reconfigured the authgroup on falied device but still getting same error.

Below I have mentioned authgroup config:

admin@ncs(config)# show full-configuration devices authgroups
devices authgroups group ABC_AUTH
default-map same-user
default-map same-pass
!
devices authgroups group default
default-map remote-name admin
default-map remote-password $9$1b+siFPe/S4aqJHVHaudackxyzzao=
!

Is this a CLI or NETCONF NED? Can you login with the authgroups credentials to the box via CLI or NETCONF?

[kumarabhi84]

Yes, I am using cli NED. And also able to logged into the device using authgroup credentials.

On the device in question using ssh and the authgroup credentials do you get a priv level 15 session?
