[rancid] Enterasys Switches help

Hi All,

I have a large deployment of different Enterasys switches (S,K,B,C,D,7100).
It seems rancid is not happy with these switches somehow.

clogin to the same device successfully logs into the switch and gives
prompt and I can type the commands.

When trying "rancid-run -r cal3-n7", the log file throws this error:

[***@rancid ~/var/logs]$ tail -f extreme.20171228.113653
starting: Thu Dec 28 11:36:53 PST 2017

Trying to get all of the configs.

cal3-n7 xlogin error: Error: Unknown: "terminal"
cal3-n7: missed cmd(s): show version,show config
cal3-n7: End of run not found
#
=====================================
Getting missed routers: round 1.
cal3-n7 xlogin error: Error: Unknown: "terminal"
cal3-n7: missed cmd(s): show version,show config
cal3-n7: End of run not found
#
All routers successfully completed.

cvs diff: Diffing .
cvs diff: Diffing configs

cvs commit: Examining configs

Here is the config section:
[***@rancid ~/var/extreme]$ more router.db | grep cal3-n7
cal3-n7;enterasys;up

# Extreme Switches
add user cal3-n7 admin
add autoenable cal3-n7 1
add password cal3-n7 xxxxxxxxxxxx
add method cal3-n7 ssh

I have gone through some of the scripts which are in the mailing list,
tried them, but no luck.

Any one has experience with Enterasys devices ? Any working scripts would
greatly help.

Thanks

I would take a look at the rancid types file to make sure itâs running the commands you need. It seems like itâs throwing up in the very beginning of its run.

There are several emails in the list on how to get into a âdebuggingâ mode if youâre not already familiar. That will help completely isolate the issue.

Hi Chris,

I added following lines in the "rancid.types.base " otherwise there is just
a reference of enterasys to rivrancid.

enterasys;script;xrancid
enterasys;login;xlogin
enterasys;command;enterasys::ShowVersion;show version
enterasys;command;enterasys::WriteTerm;show config

Running in debug mode:

[***@rancid ~/etc]$ rancid -d -t enterasys cal3-n7
loadtype: device type enterasys
loadtype: found device type enterasys in /opt/rancid/etc/rancid.types.base
loadtype: undefined function in enterasys: enterasys::ShowVersion
Couldn't load device type spec for enterasys

I am not sure why it is complaining because xrancid does have this function
defined:

# This routine parses "show version"
sub ShowVersion {
print STDERR " In ShowVersion: $_" if ($debug);

And in the main routine:

# Main
@commandtable = (
{'show version' => 'ShowVersion'},
### {'show memory' => 'ShowMemory'},
### {'show diag' => 'ShowDiag'},
### {'show switch' => 'ShowSwitch'},
### {'show slot' => 'ShowSlot'},
# way too confusing {'show configuration detail' => 'WriteTerm'},
{'show config' => 'WriteTerm'},
);

Trying rivrancid also complains about no commands:

[***@rancid ~]$ rivrancid -d cal3-n7
executing rivlogin -t 90 -c"system show uptime;system show version;system
show hardware;system show active-config" cal3-n7
cal3-n7: missed cmd(s): all commands
cal3-n7: End of run not found
cal3-n7: clean_run is false
!

Thanks

Hi Heasley,

executing rivlogin -t 90 -c"system show uptime;system show version;system

These commands starting with "system" does not work on the Enterasys
switches.
