template config 2530 series switches issues with _sys_template_header variable

  • 1.  template config 2530 series switches issues with _sys_template_header variable

    Posted Nov 21, 2019 06:57 PM

    Greetings all. Am having issues with the _sys_template_header variable and i belive formating it within my JSON variable file.

     

    My current variable entry in my JSON file for this is as follows

     

    "_sys_template_header": "; J9774A Configuration Editor; Created on release #YA.16.09.0001
    ; Ver #14:01.44.00.04.19.02.13.98.82.34.61.18.28.f3.84.9c.63.ff.37.27:45
    "

     

    with my config file in part looking like this

     

    %_sys_template_header%
    hostname %_sys_hostname%"
    %_sys_module_command%
    qos type-of-service diff-services
    no cwmp enable
    dhcp-snooping
    dhcp-snooping authorized-server 123.123.123.123
    dhcp-snooping authorized-server 123.123.123.124
    trunk 9-10 trk1 lacp
    include-credentials

     

    When the system attempts to push this to the switch, i get a corrupted configuration file error message. When i look at configuration audit logs for the push i see things like this

     

    Recent log events from the device (20)<12>Nov 21 15:28:05 - 00158 update: line 175. Invalid input: activate
<12>Nov 21 15:28:05 - 00158 update: line 174. Invalid input: dhcp
<12>Nov 21 15:28:05 - 00158 update: line 173. Invalid input: dhcp

    and get the following from the audit trail

     

    <12>Nov 21 15:28:05 - 00158 update: line 175. Invalid input: activate
    <12>Nov 21 15:28:05 - 00158 update: line 174. Invalid input: dhcp
    <12>Nov 21 15:28:05 - 00158 update: line 173. Invalid input: dhcp
    <12>Nov 21 15:28:05 - 00158 update: line 172. Invalid input: tftp
     
     
    I remove the %_sys_template_header% and replace it with the valid header data for the switch, things work properly.
     
    I've clearly missed somthing with my variable here. Can someone offer a suggestion as to what that is, as well, if there's a location to see where the config as pushed from central ends up on the device so i can perhaps look and see what the switch is getting, which may further help.
