[rancid] Brocade MLX16 generate diff on up time change date

[Gerhard Mourani]

Hello List,

I've a particular small issue with Brocade/Foundry MLX16 devices. My crond job is configured to run Rancid every two hours and every two hours I receive messages alerting me that configs has changed on the MLX16 switches but the diff is related to Up Time change like this:

- !Switch Fabric Module 1 Up Time is 64 days 3 hours 10 minutes 28 seconds
+ !Switch Fabric Module 1 Up Time is 64 days 5 hours 10 minutes 47 seconds

This happen only on MLX16 models, the other Brocade/Foundry doesn't have this problem.

Gerhard,

Hi Tobias,

Thanks a lot. I use latest version of Rancid 2.3.8 and the line to change doesn't look the same. Therefore I've modified as follow, and will test to let you know, thanks again.

- next if (/^(System|(Active|Standby) Management|LP Slot \d+) uptime is/);
+ next if (/^(System|(Active|Standby) Management|LP Slot \d+|Switch Fabric Module \d+) (uptime|Up Time) is/);

Gerhard,
