[rancid] Backing up Brocade devices with read-only user

[Tobias Brunner]

Hi,

For backing up some of our Brocade router we created a special SSH user
on this devices for rancid:

username rancid privilege 5 password testpassword
enable read-only-password testpassword

Login with clogin works as expected. But rancid-run will not work. Here
is what the log says:

router1: End of run not found 0 || 0
router1: End of run not found
Error: TIMEOUT reached
router2: End of run not found 0 || 0
router2: End of run not found
Error: TIMEOUT reached
router3: End of run not found 0 || 0
router3: missed cmd(s): show chassis,show module,show flash,show
running-config,write term
router3: End of run not found
!
router4: End of run not found 0 || 0
router4: missed cmd(s): show chassis,show module,show flash,show
running-config,write term
router4: End of run not found
!
router5: End of run not found 0 || 0
router5: missed cmd(s): show chassis,show module,show flash,show
running-config,write term
router5: End of run not found

What does this "End of run not found" mean? Rancid is able to log in
but there seems to be a trouble getting the logs.

Thanks for any help

Cheers,
Tobias

If you do this, then you at least also need to do this:

privilege exec level 5 skip-page-display

It means that it couldn't work out that it had run all the commands and
successfully exited. If the above line doesn't fix your problem, you'll
need to run in debug mode and capture the session output in a .raw file to
investigate where it is going wrong.

I think my flogin/francid are a bit hacked around, so I'd have to compare
to see I have any other specific relevant changes to current releases of
rancid.

Hi (once again),

After having the configuration backup running for this Brocade devices, every
rancid-run I get the following diff:

-- configs/router1 (revision 340)

How can I exclude these lines from the diff?

Hi (once again),

Hi (once again),

In my francid, I have the following lines in the ShowVersion function.
Again it is hacked around so not sure how it compares to what you have,
but you will see it resolves this problem for you:

while (<INPUT>) {
tr/\015//d;
next if /^\s*$/;
last if (/^$prompt/);

next if (/^(The system |Crash time)/);
next if (/^(System|(Active|Standby) Management|LP Slot \d+) uptime is/);

# This line appears somewhere between Netiron 5.1 and 5.3
next if (/^(Switch Fabric Module \d+ Up Time)/);

# remove uptime on newer switches
# but retain the stackid itself
s/(STACKID \d+)\s+system uptime is.*$/$1/;

# See comments at start for more about this flag:
if ( $skip_corrupt_serial ) {
next if (/^\s+Serial #/);
}

s/^\s*(HW|SW)/$1/;
s/^\s*(Compiled on)/SW: $1/;
s/^\s*(\(\d+ bytes\) from )/SW: $1/;

#s/^(HW.*)/$1\n/;
if (/^SL (\d+)/) {
$slot = "Slot $1";
s/^SL \d+/$slot/;
}
if (/MHz .* processor/) {
$slot = "MGMT";
}
s/^(\s*\d+ )/$slot:$1/;
s/^===*//;

ProcessHistory("VERSION","","","!$_");
}

Jethro.

Is there any specific point in francid that you put this code? I have the
same issue here with the STACKID and I tried to put it in the line 514 and
it's not working.

Thanks

I posted a chunk of my ShowVersion sub, which had an extra bit which might
cause you an issue. Current francid has this one, modified with the
change just discussed. Simply replace your current ShowVersion sub with
this one following.

Jethro.


# This routine parses "show version"
sub ShowVersion {
my($slot);

print STDERR " In ShowVersion: $_" if ($debug);

while (<INPUT>) {
tr/\015//d;
next if /^\s*$/;
last if (/^$prompt/);

next if (/^(The system |Crash time)/);
next if (/^(System|(Active|Standby) Management|LP Slot \d+) uptime is/);

I got a patch from heasley which excludes this lines from the diff:
