# Cisco IOS Manual Collection

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

#### Step 1: 

* Log into the Cisco IOS CLI using your assigned credentials. You will need access to run **show** and  **show running-config** commands.
* Run and log the output from the following commands:

```
Show running-config view full
Show vlan
Show vlans
Show ip route vrf *
Show version
Show arp
Show cdp neighbors detail
Show lldp neighbors detail
```

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

#### Step 2: 

* Log into Epiphany.
* In the left menu, expand **Source Management** and select **Configuration**.  
* Expand **Site Collectors**, and in the tile for the site collector, select **Actions**.

{% hint style="info" %}
If there is no site collector set up for Cisco IOS in Epiphany, set one up as described in [*Create a Site Collector in Epiphany*](/technical-documentation/site-collectors/site-collector-guide/create-a-site-collector-in-epiphany.md). 
{% endhint %}

* From the **Actions** menu, select **Download Image**.

#### Step 3: 

* 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. 
{% 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 10" %}

* Go to **Settings** > **Apps** > **Apps and features** > **Optional Features**  to enable OpenSSH Client on Windows 10.

* Select **Add a feature**.&#x20;
* Search for and select **OpenSSH Client.**

![](/files/kNG4gtWofXNK3EH3yFAp)

* If already installed, continue to the next step. If not, install OpenSSH Client.&#x20;
* Open a command prompt and enter the following command:

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