Mailing List Archive: How to connect to Cyclades ACS6000

Hi guys

We meet some problem when use conserver to connect Cyclades ACS6000,
We don't get any response when connecting to these new ACS6000 via conserver.
telneting or sshing direct to the cyclades-host port-num works well.
so Anybody could successful setup this or can give me a clue?

BTW: before we setup conserver with Cyclades ACS6000, we already reference follow docs
https://www.conserver.com/pipermail/users/2011-October/msg00012.html

CFG: we have another one Cyclades ACS5000, in the same configuration file, it's work.
I mean in the same configuration file, Cyclades ACS5000 works well, but Cyclades ACS6000 not works.

#### set up global access
default full { rw *; }

# ------ defaults ------

include full;

default acs6k-01.lab { include cyclades-acs; host acs6k-01.mgmt.lab.test.com; }

console intel-q8200novt-8-3 { include acs5k-01.lab; host qeacs05.qe.lab.test.com; port 15; }

I've chased this down as I have my first ACS6000 as well. This device is
different from ones in the past, adding some features which apparently
interfere with conserver.

The resolution I found was to make sure the ACS6000 ports are in 'raw'
mode.

Under CAS Settings (per port), change Protocol to 'Telnet/Raw Mode' (or
just Raw Mode, or Telnet/SSH/Raw Mode -- we'll only be using the raw ports
for conserver) and fill in the port for 'Raw Mode Port Alias'. Configure
conserver as usual but make sure to use the raw mode ports (I put 7000
series ports on raw and added 8000 series ports for telnet and 9000 series
ports for ssh). you can do this in bulk by using the checkboxes and the
'Set CAS' button.

Once i configured the raw ports, conserver works as usual.
