Connecting to ASA Timeout

[anknarang]

Hi,

I am able to connect device manually. but using netdev. I am getting Timeout. do i increase any timeout value in script ? if yes , how ?. Enable password is same. device are in active/standby.

enable mode prompt looks like this. We don't have any context

I also tested on standalone ASA with hostname cisco and enabled the deubug but same timeout issue.

There is no need to use timeouts in this case, because my library doesn't use it for waiting for the prompt. You can get more details in #10 issue. But if talking about your case: it's interesting and unusual. I've just tested it in my production environment and all works fine. So can you share your example code and example config? You can send me it privately in telegram or in my email.

Thanks for replying.

where can i find your email ?

Thanks

Hello! My email is selfuryon@gmail.com

[anknarang]

Sent you email. please check

[selfuryon]

Hello! Yeah, I got all debug files, thank you! I'll try to investigate it tomorrow

[anknarang]

Thank you

Hi,

Please can you let me know if you get chance to look. This is blocker for us. Nxos is working but due to ASA having issue. We need to decide in library As we want to use only one library for all of them.

Thank you

Hello! Sorry for a long time answer. I think the problem is in your init function: I found that you entered to an unprivileged mode, but you don't provide a secret password for entering a privileged mode. You should use secret param for that:

host = {'host':'x.x.x.x',
             'username':'admin', 
             'password':'x.x.x.x', 
             'secret':'x.x.x.x', 
             'device_type':'cisco_asa'}

Try it, it should work fine!

[selfuryon]

I've just tested it in my test environment and can confirm that it's the reason, But it's not desirable, we should get other exception. I will fix it

[anknarang]

yeah. it working. Thanks for helping out. I did not see this in any example or Doc. I might missed out.

Thank you.....

Yes, I have some problems with docs after I changed the structure of the project. Need to correct it #28
