Startup-config is ignored. So, HTTP Secure server configuration not done

[John Palmason]

Hello I have been testing/deploying and redeploying my PNP setup and I am slowly correcting issues as I go along.   I am at a point now where I am getting a repeatable issue with either my configuration file or my design.  I delete the following:

1. the project hosts in APIC-EM
2. the project in APIC-EM
3. the configuration files
4. and re-add with the bulk importer tool (great time saver) and upload all the manual configurations files again.

On each device i do the following (thanks Adam R):

# remove the certificates on active and standby

delete /force nvram:*.cer

delete /force stby-nvram:*.cer

# remove vlan data based from active and standby

Stack

delete /force flash-1:vlan.dat

delete /force flash-2:vlan.dat

Non-Stack

delete /force flash:vlan.dat

#  remove certificates from memory.  NOTE: you will not be able to SSH after this

conf t

crypto key zeroize

yes

end

# erase the config

write erase

reload

Now I am seeing a unexpected result, my hardware is getting fully provisioned in APIC-EM and giving the green light as for as no errors.  But logging into the console I am seeing the following error:

--- System Configuration Dialog ---

Enable secret warning

----------------------------------

In order to access the device manager, an enable secret is required

If you enter the initial configuration dialog, you will be prompted for the enable secret

If you choose not to enter the intial configuration dialog, or if you exit setup without setting the enable secret,

please set an enable secret using the following CLI in configuration mode-

enable secret 0 <cleartext password>

----------------------------------

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]:

%Error opening tftp://172.16.33.139/network-confg (Timed out)

%Error opening tftp://172.16.33.139/cisconet.cfg (Timed out)

%Error opening tftp://172.16.33.139/bcfs34330-confg (Timed out)

% Please answer 'yes' or 'no'.

Would you like to enter the initial configuration dialog? [yes/no]: no

Startup-config is ignored. So, HTTP Secure server configuration not done

I am missing a simple cleanup step?  My switches appear to be fully configured and functional but I am just wondering about this error message.

[John Palmason]

Here is the show pnp trace, the switch is getting provisioned but not with the static address I have assigned in the configuration. It seems like most of the configuration is getting applied but no the static vlan assignment.

Are you changing the IP address or the VLAN or both?

Can you share the config for IP/VLAN you are pushing
