[rancid] Foundry EdgeIron switches

[Chris Gauthier]

Our organization uses Foundry EdgeIron switches, but the OS those run is
completely different than the rest of Foundry's offerings. Has anyone
used Rancid to monitor those devices? Any help is appreciated.

The commands run by flogin work on the other devices, but not on the EIF
line of switches (except show version works). These are: show version,
show chassis, show module, show flash, and write term. I'm listing the
equivalent commands (where possible) for the EIF2402/4802CF switch OS
(as of v2.2.7.18):

show version = show version
show chassis (no equivalent)
show module (no equivalent)
show flash = dir
write term = show running-config

Thanks,

Chris

I've not managed to arrange access to one of these, but it should be easy
to add support. it should ignore the (errors from) commands that do not
work and collect the rest. and, try adding the dir command

{'dir /all' => 'ShowFlash'},

or whatever they dreamt up to show all files on all filesystems.
