[rancid] Rancid 3.0 and Dell Switches

[Gerhard Mourani]

Hello,

I've upgraded to Rancid 3.0 and would like to know which name to use for
Dell PowerConnect 34xx and 64xx series inside router.db?

Presently I'm using this in router.db:
192.168.x.1xx;dell;up
192.168.x.2xx;dell;up

and can see these errors in the log files:

Trying to get all of the configs.
loadtype: loading dell failed: Global symbol "$proc" requires explicit
package name at /usr/lib64/rancid/dell.pm line 82.
Global symbol "$found_version" requires explicit package name at
/usr/lib64/rancid/dell.pm line 83.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib64/rancid/rancid.pm line 222.

Thanks,

[heasley]

'dell' might do it; YMMV, the script was contributed and purported to be
working with:
# DES-3010F
# DES-3052P
# DES-3526
# DES-3550

After patching dell.pm I get this error in the log file, not the same as
before but doesn't work:

Trying to get all of the configs.
Useless use of a variable in void context at (eval 3) line 1.

Just to let you know that if using smc as type of device instead of dell,
it is working for the DELL PowerConnect 62xx series but partially work for
the DELL 34xx series. I mean partially for the 34xx series because it is
able to connect and retrieve the configuration but partially, not the full
configuration! The end of the configuration is missing!

oops; I need to improve that error msg.
