Are you saying to enable SNMP on the switch? If so, these switches use the 
default SNMP setup - v1 PUBLIC community is RO. If I disable the line that 
defines protocol and username/password in the switches table, discovery 
works fine.

Also, wouldn't xdsh use telnet since I configured the protocol to be 
telnet in the switches table? When I remove the "tn:" in front of the 
username or reconfigure the switches table to use SSH, xdsh stops working 
on the switches.

xdsh against the switch is working with ssh connection and run commands.

But discovery basically depends on the SNMP interface of the switch, so 
you must enable the snmp setup.
 
Thanks

I've configured the switches tables for management as so: 

"switch",,,,,,,"tn:admin","admin","telnet","BNT",, 

This works when I run "xdsh g8052-sw1 --devicetype EthSwitch "enable;show 
run", but when I try to discover a node in the cluster, I see the 
following in the syslog on the MN: 

Sep 13 10:30:15 m1 xCAT[24352]: Error communicating with g8052-sw1: 
Unknown user name 

I get the same error whether I have the sshusername defined or not.
