    Hi Community

    How can we store captured configuration device data that we capture while enabling SSH,SCP on device level ,do we need any TFTP server to store that data or can we store that configuraton data in SpectroServer ,if yes how can we store that configuration data in SpectroServer .

    No matter what method is used for capturing the device configuration (SNMP+TFTP/SSH), the device configurations are saved as encrypted models in the SSdb. You have to option to export the captured configuration, whenever configuration capture occurs. Here is info in that. By default the system saves last 25 configs for a device. This is also configurable.

    That would depend on the device. Some devices can do it without the enable password, via specific rights at user level. I saw this for Huawei devices (level 15 access). You have an attribute NCM_Enable_Pw_Disabled (0x12e68) that controls the usage/non usage of enable password that can be configured either at device family level or at device level.
