Small Business Switches not support plink commands?

[Christie Brinker]

Hey all! Need some help getting plink commands to run on my Small Business switches. I've specifically tried this on SF300 and SG300 and it does the same thing on both devices. I am trying to execute plink to run a simple sh run command. Plink can connect fine to the switch, but it's hanging when running the command.

Here's my example:

plink.exe 192.168.1.1 -ssh -l username -pw password sh run

FYI, this works FINE on IOS like Cisco 800 series routers. And if I do the command:

plink.exe 192.168.1.1 -ssh -l username -pw password

basically just connect to it and tell it not to run a command, it's connects and logs in fine! It's just when I am trying to pipe in the command it just sits and hangs forever. I can look and see that the SSH session is being established.

Anyone else run into this?

Thanks!

Have you tried the full command, i.e. show running-config instead of just show run?

The commands on the SMB line are different to the Catalyst ones but the show running-config should still work.

Hey Christie,

did you solved the issue? I have exactly the same behavior.
