Hi All, 

i was working on NSO and i noticed that it doesn't get any data regarding platform even if i try to sync-from it give me no entries:

admin@ncs# show devices device platform
SERIAL
NAME NAME VERSION MODEL NUMBER
------------------------------------
ios0 - - - -
ios1 - - - -
ios2 - - - -

admin@ncs# show devices device ios0 platform
% No entries found.
admin@ncs#
admin@ncs# devices sync-from
sync-result {
device ios0
result true
}
sync-result {
device ios1
result true
}
sync-result {
device ios2
result true
}
admin@ncs#

do you have any idea why it doesn't get any data?

[Michael Maddern]

What version of the cisco-ios NED are you using?

The sample NED that comes with NSO doesn't support platform info. You would need to use a more recent version.

Hi Michael, tnx for answer.

Actually im on nso 5.1 with ned version :

cisco-ios-cli-3.8/
cisco-iosxr-cli-3.5/

where can i download latest cisco ned?
anyway nso 5.1 has just released few days ago aren't them updated?

[Michael Maddern]

The NSO platform and NEDs are released separately (the NEDs are updated much more frequently).

The NSO platform is shipped with sample (old) NEDs which you can use to the run the examples (in the examples.ncs folder) and create your own services using netsim devices. Although they are old, they are still fairly comprehensive, but may be missing recent features (the platform info for example). But they should be enough for you to try out NSO. The full NEDs are not available on DevNet.

ok thanks for information.

Anyway where can i download updated NED ?

[Michael Maddern]

If you have a use case you want to try with NSO, you can get in touch with your Cisco account contact. They will be able to supply you with the latest NEDs for the devices you want to include.

Hi Renato,

I know this is an old problem, but came across it while trying to find a solution to similar problem. 

While you have probably solved your problem long time ago, but anyways, here is the link from where you can download the latest NEDs, you will find them just under the NSO packages that you want to download.

https://developer.cisco.com/docs/nso/#!getting-and-installing-nso/getting-started

Now regarding my issue, I don't know why when I do the show packages package it doesn't show me any of the NEDs that I have installed. After creating new routers using ncs-netsim commands, trying to configure them in the NCS instance, I am getting an error while trying to run the command "device-type cli cisco-ios-cli-VERSION protocol ssh" and I got an error. When I run the command "show packages package" I get a response saying no entries.

admin@ncs# show packages package
% No entries found.

Although I have already created the NEDs in my instance using the "ncs-setup --package /PATH OF THE NEDS --dest INSTANCE FOLDER

And I can list all the NEDs I have in my NCS instance 

[ec2-user@ip-10-1-4-86 nso-instance]$ ls -l packages/
total 0

Still looking around, but if you have seen this issue before, I hope you can help.
