[rancid] Also Problem with 'enable'

[Carlos Asensio]

Hi there,

I have the same problem with "enable" that Michael Schwartzkopff posted.

I've tried to login with the "clogin" from 2.3.6 version without success, but if I use the "clogin" from 2.3.1 it works!

How can we fix the 2.3.6 clogin version ??

Here you have the example of what I'm saying:

[***@nex-netman01 ~]$ ./bin/clogin-2.3.6 fw.noc.net
fw.noc.net
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l nex_rancid fw.noc.net
***@fw.noc.net's password:
#####################################################################
# #
# Todos los accesos estan siendo monitorizados #
# Acceso restringido exclusivamente a personal autorizado #
# Desconecte inmediatamente #
# #
#####################################################################
Type help or '?' for a list of available commands.
FW-NOC>
FW-NOC> exit

Logoff

Connection to fw.noc.net closed.
[***@nex-netman01 ~]$ ./bin/clogin-2.3.1 fw.noc.net
fw.noc.net
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l nex_rancid fw.noc.net
***@fw.noc.net's password:
#####################################################################
# #
# Todos los accesos estan siendo monitorizados #
# Acceso restringido exclusivamente a personal autorizado #
# Desconecte inmediatamente #
# #
#####################################################################
Type help or '?' for a list of available commands.
FW-NOC> enable
Password: ************
FW-NOC#
FW-NOC# exit

Logoff

Connection to fw.noc.net closed.
[***@nex-netman01 ~]$


Thanks in advance!
Carlos.

Hi,

please do not use the '#' sign in the banner. This solved our problem.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately we have a lot of devices to manage, so it's not so easy to change the banner at all of them.

I was just wondering if the way that clogin--2.3.1 handle the prompt can be implemented/fixed at the cloing--2.3.6.

Best regards,
Carlos.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for your answer.
Unfortunately we have a lot of devices to manage, so it's not so easy to
change the banner at all of them.

I am thinking about a solution to do config changes on many hosts with
cfengine. See cfengine.com. Software under GPL.

With this solution it should be possible to automate changes on many (!) cisco
devices.

Since nobody sponsors this work I have to do it in my spare time. So it can be
a while until I will finish this work. Sorry.

Greetings,

[Carlos Asensio]

Thanks for the idea, Michael. We also have others software alternatives to do that, but it's little bit messy.

So I want to know if anybody knows if the way that clogin--2.3.1 handle the prompt/banner can be implemented/fixed at the cloing--2.3.6.

Best regards,
Carlos.

You have a list of devices in rancid. Use cut, split on ':' - first
column, pipe and you have list of every device on the network to put in a
textfile. Then, use ciscocmd, or iosrun to change it on all devices. Or,
just write an expect script yourself using autoexpect as a template.
Then, sit back and watch while it does the work for you.

it was changed to be more flexible in matching the prompt and doing so in
a manner that is not confused by information in the output. but, it cant
manage that until it sees the prompt the first time - and it must find it
somehow. hence, dont use [>#] in your banners...or dont have banners at
all.
