Changelogs

New

• iosxe

  • Added ROMMON-only emgy: and emgy0: boot filesystems for IE3K and IE9K. Reload recovery prefers their .bin images, then the configured Clean recovery image, before applying the normal SSA, SPA, and generic BIN ordering to flash: and sdflash:. Other IOS XE platforms retain their existing reload behavior.

Fix

• iosxe

  • IOS-XE execute and non-bulk configure commands now recover from corrupted terminal input by clearing it and retrying once. Bulk configuration does not support this recovery.

  • Added a cat9k regression test covering a post credential action that lands directly in enable mode before logout and relogin

• generic

  • Tighten learned-prompt matching for dollar and hash markers preceded by horizontal whitespace. Require a prompt-shaped prefix for these forms while retaining the existing handling for attached prompt markers.

  • Add regression coverage for chunked setup output, verifying a generated secret line is not classified as a prompt and the discard selection is sent before token discovery attempts to enable.

  • Fixed login failures when a username prompt immediately follows the Press RETURN to get started message.

  • Restored the active configuration submode branch before retrying a command after config-session lock recovery, including same-prompt context changes and hierarchical submodes multiple levels deep.

  • When Genie parsers are unavailable, automatic token discovery is skipped and connections use predefined testbed tokens.

  • Advance to the next cred_list credential after each password is sent, including when a terminal-server login lands directly at the device prompt without a post credential action

  • Recognize an unprefixed PnP HTTP-timeout line as asynchronous system output so Unicon can request a fresh prompt.

  • Run the existing settle-and-send handling when the asynchronous line is first matched, including when no additional console output follows.

  • Continue settling across multiple asynchronous chunks until a complete quiet interval is observed, bounded by an overall timeout.

  • Preserve the established deferred handling for other syslog messages so reload and switchover dialogs can process their own asynchronous output.

  • Keep the match independent of the PnP server URL and anchored to the start of the line to avoid matching ordinary command output.

• cheetah/ap

  • Updated the ping service to submit the default response for the AP sweep range prompt.

  • Updated the ping service to handle the AP data-pattern prompt and continue the interactive ping dialog.

• iosxe/cat8k

  • Treated image_to_boot as a ROMMON fallback during reload instead of forcing devices that autoboot normally to transition through ROMMON.

• iosxe/cat9k/c9350 stack

  • Complete reload dialog processing when a member reaches an enable prompt, avoiding a threading timeout after boot.

• ios

  • Isolated the token-discovery version test from the global LEARN_OS_VERSION environment override while preserving the full-version assertion.

• nxos/n9k

  • Handle the secure password standard question and admin password setup before generic login prompts. Suppress syslog-triggered returns only while the password setup sequence is active during connection or reload. Allow time for boot setup prompts after syslogs before recovering from a standalone boot syslog. The wait is configurable for N9K devices.

• ios-xe

  • StackWise Virtual connections and standby reset no longer depend on Genie utilities.
