[Cisco] UCSM / FI6248UP ‘code F0909 , default Keyring’s certificate is invalid, reason: expired’

在維護已久的UCSM (FI6xxx) series總是容易見著這樣的錯誤訊息。不去理會其它不會對維運設備造成太大影響,只是偶而客戶問及總不希望有個錯誤訊息掛載在那兒。

Resolution :

step01. SSH login UCSM

step02. # scope security

step03. /security# scope keyring default

step04./security/keyring# set regenerate yes

step05./security/keyring* commit-buffer // 套用立即生效

等待幾分鐘這個錯誤訊息即會消失..^O^

[Cisco] How to login LDAP / AD enviroment UCSM ?

  • Putty
    Login as: ucs-<domain-name>\<username>
  • From Linux / MAC machine
    ssh ucs-<domain-name>\\<username>@<UCSM-IP-Address>
    ssh -l ucs-<domain-name>\\<username> <UCSM-IP-address>
    ssh <UCSM-IP-address> -l ucs-<domain-name>\\<username>

它能夠登入重點在於前面一定要帶 " ucs- " 才能登入就對了。
