If the collectors can't reach your assets via SSH, you can manually collect data  for the network modeling process. A command line interface (CLI) connection to the devices is needed, as well as a terminal emulator such as Putty or SecureCRT, capable of logging data presented via the **show** commands used.

#### Step 1: 

* Log into the ArubaOS switch CLI using your assigned credentials. 

{% hint style="info" %}
Note that you will need access to run **show** commands along with the show **running-config** command.
{% endhint %}

* Run and log the output from the following commands:

```
show running-configuration
show ip route
show arp
show vlans
show cdp neighbors
show lldp remote-device
show version
exit 
```

* Once all data is collected from the Cisco IOS appliances, create a .zip file named **Collector\_Upload\_ ArubaOS.zip** containing the data from ArubaOS switch appliances.  

#### Step 2: 

* Log into Epiphany
* In the left menu, expand **Source Management** and then select **Configuration**.
* In the **Configuration** area, expand **Site Collectors** and then select <img src="/files/p8bdGaDgYlrq3HzhxTHE" alt="" data-size="line">.
* In the **Add New Collector** form, enter a **Name** for the collector, and in **Site**, enter the location of collector. Enter any desired notes for the collector in **Notes**.&#x20;
* Select **Save**.

* The new site collector displays in the **Site Collectors** panel. Select **Actions**, and then select **Download Image**.&#x20;

![](/files/vn6jHagaATljUfYiVgnY)

#### Step 3:&#x20;

* Once the PEM file is downloaded, it can be used to perform SCP of the compressed configuration folder to the Epiphany Collector.

{% hint style="info" %}
The PEM file and map file can be anywhere on the file system, so provide that file’s pathway for the SCP command. &#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Linux" %}

* Open a terminal and run the following command:

```
scp -i ~/.ssh/key.pem <Collector_Upload> upload@<Collector_IP>:~/upload 
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Windows" %}

* Enable OpenSSH Client on Windows 10 by going to **Settings** > **Apps and features** > **Optional Features.**
* Select **Add a feature**. &#x20;
* Search for **OpenSSH Client*****.***
* If already installed, continue to the next step. If not, install **OpenSSH Client**.&#x20;
* Open a command prompt and use the following command:&#x20;

```
scp-i ~/.ssh/key.pem <Collector_Upload>  upload@<Collector_IP>:~/upload
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
