[rancid] Rancid 3.7 and Comware

[David Chapman]

We recently upgraded an old Rancid install and had problems with Comware. I found the new updated plugin for Rancid 3 and I realize this is not supported but wondering if some help could be provided.

The issue is one of our comware switches supports exit and quit while most typically only support quit so its not detecting it as a clean run. It errors with “End of run not found”


---- Except from cmw.pm----
if (/[\]>#]\a?\s*quit/) {
#if (/[>#]\s?exit$/) {
$clean_run = 1;
last;
}
----raw file---
#
return
<XXXXXXX>exit
Connection to XXXXXX closed.

---raw file if non affected switch---

return
<YYYYYY>exit
^
% Unrecognized command found at '^' position.
<YYYYYYY>quit
Connection to YYYYYYY closed.

I think I was able to trace it down to this line of code. Maybe extra code?

I’m not too familiar with TCL but my platform is set to cmw or blank and it still hits the exit-bad. I changed “exit” to “exit-bad” for debugging. Should that if statement be gone completely?

--- cmwlogin

if { [string compare "extreme" "$platform"] } {
send -h "exit-bad\r"
} else {
send -h "quit\r"
}
expect {
-re "^\[^\n\r *]*$reprompt" {
# the Cisco CE and Jnx ERX
# return to non-enabled mode
# on exit in enabled mode.
send -h "$exitcmd\r"
exp_continue;
}
