Cisco PI 2.0 - SSH/Telnet credentials required? Config archives not working

[Larry Smith]

I can't seem to get configuration archives working without entering in telnet or ssh credentials. Does anyone know if there is a way to get config backups and other PI functionality using snmp credentials alone?

If not, does anyone have a good way for bulk credential changes for when passwords change?

Thanks very much.

Hi Larry,

SNMP credentials may be sufficient for management of wireless devices , but for 
IOS based devices, SNMP credentials will only get you basic inventory and monitoring. 
All software image management and configuration management requires CLI access. 
Bottom line is that for full functionality, CLI credentials are required.


To Bulk Edit the device credentilas , you can go to 
Operate > device work center 
Need to Manually select the device  and click Export Device

Hope it will help


Thanks-
Afroz
