Valid and invalid responses from devices

When you deploy a configuration to a device, some commands may send responses back to the Management application. By default, any message that the Management application receives is treated as an error, unless it matches an entry in the cliResponses.properties (IronWare) or NOSCliResponse.properties (Network OS) file. These files contain a list of messages that the Management application recognizes as valid responses.

If you think the response is valid, you can add the response to the list in the cliResponses.properties (IronWare) or NOSCliResponse.properties (Network OS) file using one of the following methods:

•Add the response to the cliResponses.properties (IronWare) file (refer to “Editing the CLI responses properties file” on page 790)

•Add the response to the NOSCliResponse.properties (Network OS) file (refer to “Editing the Network OS CLI responses properties file” on page 791)

•Add the response to the MotorolaControllerCliResponse.properties file (refer to “Editing the Network OS CLI responses properties file” on page 791)

•Using a dash character in CLI configuration manager (refer to “Using a dash character in CLI Configuration manager” on page 793)

Editing the CLI responses properties file

The cliResponses.properties (IronWare) file is under the Install_Home\conf\cli directory. Edit the file using a text editor. Add the response using the following Unicode regular expressions format.

For example, if you try to delete a nonexistent TACACS server by entering the following entry in CLI Configuration Manager:

no tacacs-server host 1.5.8.3

When you deploy the configuration, the following error messages are generated:

error: Failed to delete TACACS+ server 1.5.8.3

Error: Failed to delete TACACS+ server 1.5.8.3

To classify these messages as valid responses in the Management application, you can add the following entry to the appropriate responses file:

^no tac=^error: failed to delete
