You can also choose to use a third-party SCP server.īinary device configs can be transferred only with SCP. It is automatically installed on the SolarWinds Platform server and on any additional polling engines.

The SolarWinds SCP server is included with NCM. Then it uses SCP to transfer the configuration file from the device to the SCP server. When NCM downloads a configuration using SCP (Secure Copy Protocol), it uses Telnet or SSH to log in to the device and initiate the SCP session. Transfers using TFTP are indirect transfers. Configure the TFTP server as needed for your environment.Select TFTP as the value for the Transfer Config option.

Then it uses TFTP to transfer the configuration file from the device to the TFTP server. When NCM downloads a configuration using TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol), it uses Telnet or SSH to log in to the device and initiate the TFTP session. Transfers using Telnet or SSH are direct transfers. Select the same protocol as the value for the Transfer Config option.Select the desired protocol (Telnet or SSH) as the value for the Request Config option.To use Telnet or SSH, specify the following options in the connection profile, global profile, or global variables: When the device displays the configuration, NCM parses the information and stores it. When NCM downloads a configuration using Telnet or SSH (Secure Shell), it logs in to the device and then runs commands on the device to display the configuration. You can specify the protocols that NCM uses to transfer configurations in the device's connection profile, a global profile, or in global variables. Protocols NCM uses to transfer configurations
