Open NX-OS Programmability: "Always On", but "Reserve to activate"

Temmokan
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

I am trying to access "Open NX-OS Programmability" lab, which is marked "Always-On". However, none of access credentials are accepted (connection refused) and it is written "Reserve to activate" on the grid.

How do I reserve it (I see no obvious control for that)?

Thanks.

Hi Temmokan,

 

The NX-OS Programmability Sandbox is open and working currently. This particular sandbox is always on hence why the "Reserve" icon has been disabled. I've attached a screenshot highlighting how to connect to this particular device (note: you don't need to be on any VPN).

 

Below a quick output of me logging in now without any issues

jonathan@X1-Carbon:~/Documents$ ssh -p 8181 admin@sbx-nxos-mgmt.cisco.com

Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no/[fingerprint])? yes

I am on Ubuntu 18.04, and looks like the only way to log on via SSH is to forbid using public keys, i.e.

ssh -o PubkeyAuthentication=no -p 8181 admin@sbx-nxos-mgmt.cisco.com
