Default ACS User/Password for the GUI.

After that, you get promoted for a new password.

I had a hard time to find the correct OID and ended with doing a snmpwalk and try to find the right OID with a grep…
But i think i made it ๐
Crosschecked on 2 5760 Clusters and i got the correct count on both, also tried to reboot some APs and the count seems correct to me.
Note: I use 3.6.1 so maybe you get a different result with another software version.
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.999999.1.1.1.11.0
Interesting is that i found two other OIDs that report the same value.
1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.999999.1.1.1.17.0 1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.999999.1.1.1.18.0
I’m sure that it’s not the first time i felt for this …
Tried to install a ACS Patch this morning and got an error:
“% Manifest file not found in the bundle”
First i used the wrong command:
patch install 5-4-0-46-5.tar.gpg FTP
ACS01/admin# patch install 5-4-0-46-5.tar.gpg FTP Save the current ADE-OS running configuration? (yes/no) [yes] ? Generating configuration... Saved the ADE-OS running configuration to startup successfully Initiating Application Patch installation... % Manifest file not found in the bundle
Easy solution, use the right command! ๐

I did a upgrade of our ACI Lab Fabric last week and documented all the steps. The upgrade is really straightforward, but hopefully this guide still helps you ๐
First you have to catch the desired Software, get them directly from cisco. You need APIC Release image for 1.0(3f) release (aci-apic-dk9.1.0.3f.iso) and the Cisco Nexus 9000 Series ACI Mode Switch Software Release 11.0(3f) (aci-n9000-dk9.11.0.3f.bin). Get them here:
Cisco ACI Version 1.0(3f)
I always check the MD5 sum, just to be sure that everything went right with my download.
$ md5 aci-apic-dk9.1.0.3f.iso MD5 (aci-apic-dk9.1.0.3f.iso) = 6e747378ec4225ead0f27cb23aa54f02
The MD5 hash looks right. Check the same for the Nexus 9000 Image!
I got some strange Websocket Errors on the Gui Login Page, the following fixed the problem for me
admin@aci-lab-apic01:~> acidiag restart mgmt {u'dme': {u'output': u'mgmt start/running\n', u'error_code': 0, u'error_string': u''}}
As i had some struggle to find the right command, i will share it here ๐
admin@aci-lab-apic01:~> acidiag reboot Broadcast message from root@aci-lab-apic01 (unknown) at 15:31 ... The system is going down for reboot NOW!
So be ready, there is no warning/confirmation!
With the introduction of the NX-OS Cli, cisco changed the way how you connect to leaf/spine switches.
Find my updated post here.
There are several scenarios where you want to connect to your leaf and spine switches of the ACI fabric.
In this example we want to checkout the BGP Status.
First you connect to your APIC Controller through SSH:
$ ssh admin@10.32.5.100 Application Policy Infrastructure Controller admin@10.32.5.100's password: admin@aci-lab-apic01:~>
Beside of your number and that you’re recognised as CCIE you also get some small perks from Cisco:
CCIE Certification Kit
You will get a CCIE Certification Kit, after i got mine i will blog about it for sure!
According to cisco it includes:
- Congratulatory letter from John Chambers
- Certificate of achievement
- Personalized CCIE plaque
- CCIE badge pull
- CCIE sticker set
- Certification resource document
I will post the whole package and its content after i received my Certification Kit
As we all know, the Question mark in IOS is used as interactive help, but what about a ? in a password?
This could for example be a task in your CCIE Lab or at least in on of the many preparation labs.
To use the ? literal just enter crtl+v and then ?
Rack1SW3(config)#username cisco password SECR? LINE <cr>
ctrl+v ?
Rack1SW3(config)#username cisco password SECR? Rack1SW3(config)#
Easy stuff but good to know!
Of course the ? can also be used in ACL Names, Route-maps, etc…
Nice overview of Cisco IOSย shortcuts, will try to add more!
