Netonix Manager / Control Software

[judec]

Figures, I actually experimented with it on a WS-8-150DC switch on my test bench and was able to upgrade it via the Manager. Now I can see that switches UI on Chrome. Thank you for this tool and for fixing the login issue. If there is any documentation or videos on the use of the Manager Software it still would be appreciated.

I'm curious how many switches folks have a single instance of netonix manager dealing with at once?

We starting seeing a fair bit of trouble after our first manager starting approaching 100. As a result we're running 2 instances (yes we're careful about only managing SWs with one or the other) but we're also having some issues as it approaches the 100 mark.

We only use two features of NX Manager, 1) Backups 2) auto login of SWs so as to not have to share the local logins with everyone. What features are other using?

Hello,

I am working on adding netonix manager to an existing ubuntu server that we are currently running librenms and phpipam on.

I have installed as described and set up a conf file to assign a listen port to be accessible.
After playing with this a bit, I found that the bootloader.js was set to listen on port 3000, not 3443 as stated.
setting a proxy to port 3000 brought me to the netonix login page, submitting user/pass does nothing.
It also looks like there is no node running by default, is there any additional setup not mentioned that is needed?
Looking at the output from the node when I manually have it running shows:

I verified that there is no folder /storage
service netonix-manager status shows that netonix-manager is loaded, active and running.

I am fairly new to linux CLI, but was able to get both of the other programs running with no issues.

NPM version 6.14.4

Thanks for any help!

I installed the latest manager on Windows 10. First I installed the latest v8 node.js then ran the install program. Server is up and running and I can logon to it. However I cannot get any switch I add to respond.

I add a switch and the manager log gives no error but nothing poplulates.

I went to the tower router where the switch is located and ran Mikrotik torch and I see a connection from the service IP to the SSH port of the switch but no packets are exchanged.

I even turned the firewall off on the server and still nothing.

I can access the switch via Web and SSH on the server I have Netonix Manager installed, but manager gives me nothing.

I tried another switch and it added fine. Switch that added fine is running 1.5.5. Switch that would not do anything is 1.4.2rc6. I guess there is a minimum FW version for Netonix Manager?

How do I add a firmware to the local repository?

I wondered this same problem and finally found out how.

From the "Devices" tab select a device and press the "Upgrade" button
This will bring up a pop-up screen that lets you choose the firmware from the repository, download from Netonix, or Upload from a local file.

When you choose to download from Netonix, it will automatically add it to your repository.
When you upload from a local file, it will also add it to your repository.

I am on version v1.0.20

Anything we can do here? Getting flooded with alarms all the time.
