zoneAliasRowStatus. 1.23

When I tried to change something on Cisco Fabric Manager for Cisco MDS Switches and I am faced this error : zoneAliasRowStatus. 1.23: Permission denied or feature disabled- Switchname zoneAliasRowStatus. 1.23

 

When I focused on Permission denied error I saw that I don’t have rights to change configuration on switches.

My root user has Admin rights but for SNMP it has network-operator rights

Solution;

– Connect your Fibre switches and type this “sh snmp” on enable mode

-  you will see this little bit below

                                           SNMP USERS
______________________________________________________________

User                          Auth  Priv(enforce) Groups
____                          ____  _____________ ______
root                         md5   des(no)       network-operator

 

– jump to Config mode with conf t

– and type this “snmp-server user admin network-admin

and then get sh snmp again

What is SoftwareDistribution Folder

I think, some of you have faced this problem and always I am asked why this folder is too large. let me tell what is this folder?

This folder comprises Windows patches. If Automatic windows update option is enable, this folder will be grown. Therefore you can disable that option or delete files which are already installed. Actually you cannot understand which one is installed, which one not. Best thing is delete all files under download folder.

1- create a new text file on desktop.

2- open it and copy this code

net stop wuauserv
cd %systemroot%SoftwareDistribution
ren Download Download.old
net start wuauserv

3- save it and close

4- rename file to rename.bat

5- double click on it.

After the service has been started again, a new download folder will be created again. This will give you a change to delete the folder named download.old
