[rancid] Need help with fixing custom Rancid script (IBM flex switches)

Good day,

I am trying to backup configs from IBM flex switches.
They have different commands like: /info/l2/dump or /cfg/dump.

I made a copy of 'flogin' and 'francid' files: ibmlogin and ibmrancid.

I added a new line into /usr/bin/rancid-fe to specify a new device class
'ibm'.

The file has now:

%vendortable = (
'agm' => 'agmrancid',
'alteon' => 'arancid',
'arista' => 'arrancid',
'avocent' => 'avorancid',
'baynet' => 'brancid',
'cat5' => 'cat5rancid',
'cisco' => 'rancid',
'cisco-nx' => 'nxrancid',
'cisco-xr' => 'xrrancid',
'css' => 'cssrancid',
'enterasys' => 'rivrancid',
'erx' => 'jerancid',
'extreme' => 'xrancid',
'ezt3' => 'erancid',
'f5' => 'f5rancid',
'force10' => 'f10rancid',
'fortigate' => 'fnrancid',
'foundry' => 'francid',
'hitachi' => 'htrancid',
'hp' => 'hrancid',
# ibm was added manually
'ibm' => 'ibmrancid',
'juniper' => 'jrancid',
'mrtd' => 'mrancid',
'mrv' => 'mrvrancid',
'netopia' => 'trancid',
'netscaler' => 'nsrancid',
'netscreen' => 'nrancid',
'procket' => 'prancid',
'redback' => 'rrancid',
'riverstone' => 'rivrancid',
'smc' => 'srancid',
'tnt' => 'tntrancid',
'zebra' => 'zrancid'
);

I specified device names in .cloginrc:
add user sw* rancid
add password sw* {www.rancid.net}
add method sw* ssh
add autoenable sw* 1

I added device into router.db:
sw1.ibm:ibm:up

In ibmrancid I added:

sub WriteTerm {
....
# custom added lines
if (/^Press q to quit, any other key to continue/) {
next;
}
if (/script end*/) {
$found_end = 1;
return(1);
}
}
return(0);
}

So, when I do '/usr/libexec/rancid/ibmrancid -c "/cfg/dump" sw1.ibm' it
works fine.
When I try to run 'racnid-run -r sw1.ibm" if fails.

To troubleshoot I tried to run:

/usr/libexec/rancid/ibmrancid -d sw1.ibm

executing /usr/libexec/rancid/ibmlogin -t 30 -c"/cfg/dump" sw1.ibm
PROMPT MATCH: >> sw1.aus - Main#
HIT COMMAND:>> sw1.aus - Main# /cfg/dump
In WriteTerm: >> sw1.aus - Main# /cfg/dump
sw1.ibm /usr/libexec/rancid/ibmlogin error: Error: TIMEOUT reached
sw1.ibm /usr/libexec/rancid/ibmlogin error: Error: TIMEOUT reached
sw1.ibm: End of run not found 0 || 1
sw1.ibm: End of run not found
results: found END string
sw1.ibm: End of run not found
script end /**** DO NOT EDIT THIS LINE!

Also, ibmrancid has the following commands to run:

@commandtable = (
# {'/info/sys/general' => 'WriteTerm'},
# {'/info/sys/chassis' => 'WriteTerm'},
# {'/info/l2/vlan' => 'WriteTerm'},
# {'/info/l2/failovr/trigger' => 'WriteTerm'},
# {'/info/transcvr' => 'WriteTerm'},
{'/cfg/dump' => 'WriteTerm'},
);

Please help me find out what's wrong. Looks like it tries to get run
command but fails.

The outpuif of /cfg/dump looks like (the end):

/c/sys/syslog
console dis
/c/l2/lldp
on
/c/sys/ntp
on
/
script end /**** DO NOT EDIT THIS LINE!

Thanks.

Did you try the Alteon WebOS alogin and arancid first? That uses those
types of commands:

%commands=(
'/info/sys' => "ShowVersion",
'/cfg/dump' => "WriteTerm",
);

Thanks a lot Jethro!

I have not heard about such company and their products before.
It worked fine, I just needed to modify scripts to log commands like
'/info/sys/general', etc.

If someone needs I can share these modifications.

I don't know much about it either, seems to be something to do with
Nortel? Anyway, I've seen this AOS crop up in a few places; the last time
was on HP c-class blade enclosure ethernet switches rebadged from from
Blade Network Technologies, GbE2c and so on. I don't know the history
behind the rancid module for such.

I'm sure the project will be happy to incorporate any modifications you
make. The current one is clearly very basic!

Jethro.
