[rancid] HP 1920

[Andrea Venturoli]

Hello.

I've got a couple of HP 1920 switches I'd like Rancid to connect to.

/usr/local/libexec/rancid/clogin switch-ufficio.xxxxxxx
switch-ufficio.xxxxxxx
spawn telnet switch-ufficio.xxxxxxx
Trying 192.168.110.10...
Connected to switch-ufficio.xxxxxxx.
Escape character is '^]'.

<Switch Ufficio xxxxxxx>enable

<Switch Ufficio xxxxxxx>^C$

I believe the command "enable" has to be substituted with "_cmdline-mode
on", but found no driver implementing this.

Does such a driver exist?
Anyone using this switch (or any similar one)?

bye & Thanks

I've done some experimental work on this with rancid 3, at the moment it
relies on some changes to core rancid which I need to think through and
feedback to the project, and I haven't looked at it in a while. I know I
won't get a chance to do so for a while yet either unfortunately.

For the record, this is an HP Comware switch, but is one of a set of
models that has a fairly useless limited CLI, unless you enter the secret
command and magic code to enable access to the full CLI, which requires
the special handling.

Jethro.

Thanks anyway.
Please let me know if you make any step ahead.

Exactly.
It's supposed to be this way by default, but I read you should be able
to delete the magic code and then get into the full CLI as soon as you
login. I've been unsuccesful on this however.

I've never seen that information! Not sure I believe it.

Andrea,
/usr/libexec/rancid/./clogin -t 90 -c "show version" IP_ADDRESS
only to see it's working proper

I had to change the command a bit, but I don't think that matters;

$ /usr/local/libexec/rancid/clogin -t 90 -c "show version" switch-ufficio.xxxxxxx
switch-ufficio.xxxxxxx
spawn telnet switch-ufficio.xxxxxxx
Trying 192.168.110.10...
Connected to switch-ufficio.xxxxxxx.

Please, let me know if you want me to try anything else.
