Foundry Network Server Iron XL configuration retrieval instructions

Foundry Network Server Iron XL configuration retrieval instructions

(Tested on a Foundry Network Server Iron XL)
Using SSH, Telnet Or The Console

For this procedure you will be using the Command Line Interface (CLI) of your Foundry Network Server Iron device using an SSH client (such as OpenSSH or Putty), Telnet or through the console port. We would recommend using either SSH (for remote connections) or using a direct connection to the console port. Telnet provides no encryption of the communications and therefore your authentication credentials and configuration would be vulnerable if a malicious user were to monitor your connection.

1. Connect to the Foundry Network Server Iron using your favourite SSH client, Telnet or a direct console connection.
(NB: You may need to set the baud rate to the appropriate speed for your device. A list of standard rates can be found at the end of this document. On our Foundry Network Server Iron XL test device, the baud rate was 9600)
2. By default the Server Iron XL does not have a log in for the CLI.

3. Enter the command ‘
enable’ followed by your password. This will elevate your privilege level.

4. Enter command 'show config'

5. Save the captured output to a file and remove any visible page lines (i.e. --More--).

If you are unsure about the baud rate that your device is set to we would suggest trying the most common default baud rates which are 9600, 19200 & 115200
