Cannot access IOS-XR or NX-OS nodes on IOS XE on Catalyst Reservable

slarrarte
Level 1
Level 1

I am unable to log into the XR or Nexus nodes on the IOS XE on Catalyst on Latest Code reservable sandbox.  The sidebar lists the creds as developer/C1sco12345.  This does not work for either.  I can get on the XE node though.  

Am I supposed to be able to access the XR and Nexus nodes?  I can't see another reason as to why they'd be in the sandbox.

@slarrarte we are talking about a different sandbox. I made reservation today and was able to access the following devices with the username developer/C1sco12345

IOS XE Cat 8Kv-569667f1/10.10.20.48/Model Catalyst 8000v

 

❯ ssh developer@10.10.20.48
(developer@10.10.20.48) Password:
Welcome to the DevNet Sandbox for Cat8000V and IOS XE
The following programmability features are already enabled:

Thanks for stopping by.

IOS XRv 9000-4b7956ec/10.10.20.35/Model IOS XRv 9000
 

 

❯ ssh developer@10.10.20.35
(developer@10.10.20.35) Password:


RP/0/RP0/CPU0:xrv9k

 

I could also access the devbox with same username/password (not shown)

However the NX-OS device, did not take the username/password listed in the left side device details. At first i thought this was a local issue, and used the devbox as a jump host. But access was denied again. Under further looking, i expanded the the command tab on the device in the topology, this looks like a play button.

If you click this, it will expand a pane on the right side of the diagram. Under attributes, you see more of the device information and can see that the username/password details are not the same as those provided in other section.

Once those details are used, access to the device is possible. (admin/RG!_Yw200) both local and using the devbox as a jump host.

I check the devices attributes on the other devices (XE and XR) and see they match both sides as developer/C1sco12345, which worked ok. The Nexus information is wrong, but once using the right details this seems ok for me, i am not sure why you are not able to access he XR device. The XRv9 can take a while to boot fully and if not fully loaded up might/could reject your password or there might have been a build error with your reservation. I would suggest, getting a new reservation, double check the passwords being entered from both sources of information in the sandbox and type these in, rather than copy/pasta.

Hope this helps.

@slarrarte the IOS XE on Catalyst Latest Code Always On is just one device https://devnetsandbox.cisco.com/RM/Diagram/Index/7b4d4209-a17c-4bc3-9b38-f15184e53a94?diagramType=Topology

The always on XR device is here https://devnetsandbox.cisco.com/RM/Diagram/Index/e83cfd31-ade3-4e15-91d6-3118b867a0dd?diagramType=Topology and NX-OS here https://devnetsandbox.cisco.com/RM/Diagram/Index/dae38dd8-e8ee-4d7c-a21c-6036bed7a804?diagramType=Topology

They all have different username and passwords.

Hope this helps.

I am inquiring about the reservable sandbox specifically.  I have attached a screenshot of it, which shows that there is one device per OS.  The instruction sidebar also provides credentials (which don't work for XR and NX) for each node.

Thank you so much! I am now able to log into all the nodes.  I think you were right about my initial inability to log into the XR node.
