Overview

After upgrading the Exinda's firmware, the user may find that the web UI is inaccessible, showing the browser's generic error message:

'This page can't be displayed'

Checking the Exinda's logs will show the following errors:

• mgmtd[2281]: [mgmtd.ERR]: md_web_reconfig_httpd(), /home/build/jenkins/workspace/exos_nightly/samara/tree/customer/exinda/src/include/../bin/mgmtd/modules/md_web.inc.c:406, build 1: Error code 14014 (generic IO error) returned

Root Cause

This error is caused when importing a config file which contains the command:

crypto syscertificate name system-self-signed public-cert pem #12.

Resolution

1. If the Exinda is already on the new firmware and the web UI is inaccessible, please run the following command from the CLI:

en

conf t

crypto syscertificate system-self-signed regenerate

 

2. Now restart the system, you can use the command:

reload

 

3. The aforementioned can be avoided in the future, by removing the following command from the config file before importing it:

crypto syscertificate name system-self-signed public-cert pem #12
