Hi all,
New user to RANCID 3.0 here, I can login to a Cisco WLC no
issues with:

bin/clogin wlchostname
bin/wlogin wlchostname

I also have custom WLC scripts, that login to the WLC and backup the config
and work fine,
which I obtained from here:
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2010-February/004652.html

Which I have placed in: /usr/local/rancid/bin and saved as ciscowlc5

/usr/local/rancid/bi*n/*ciscowlc5 wlchostname : logs in and saves the
config no problems.

Now everywhere I read, to add a custom script / vendor device you need to
add the new details in rancid-fe.

/usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-fe now looks for Vendors in one of these files

/usr/local/rancid/etc/rancid.types.base
/usr/local/rancid/etc/rancid.types.conf

vim /usr/local/rancid/etc/rancid.types.base

ciscowlc;script;ciscowlc5

I now update my router.db

vim /usr/local/rancid/etc/router.db

wlchost:ciscowlc:up

I tail the logs and get these errors:

Unknown option: t
ciscowlc wlogin error: Error: Unknown host ciscowlc
ciscowlc: missed cmd(s): show sysinfo,show udi,show run-config commands
ciscowlc: End of run not found
!
Unknown option: t
ciscowlc wlogin error: Error: Unknown host ciscowlc
ciscowlc: missed cmd(s): show sysinfo,show udi,show run-config commands
ciscowlc: End of run not found

can someone please show me the light?

why does not use the working, /usr/local/rancid/bin/ciscowlc script?

Thanks for your time I seem confused can someone please check my steps for
adding this script into rancid 3.0 to get it to backup the WLC also if I
need to add other vendors in the future how to add them into RANCID 3.0?

Thanks for your time.

you should put this in rancid.types.conf - YOUR localized config file.
rancid.types.base will be overwritten by installation of new versions of
rancid, as indicated at the top of rancid.types.base.

Hi heasley, thanks for you reply I made the changes by using the
semi-colons in the the router.db and used
/usr/local/rancid/etc/rancid.types.conf, however I still have no success.

Here are my exact steps:

/usr/local/rancid/bin/ciscowlc5 wlchostname : logs in and saves the config
fine.

Removed the entry ciscowlc;script;ciscowlc5 from
/usr/local/rancid/etc/rancid.types.base

Added it in: /usr/local/rancid/etc/rancid.types.conf
ciscowlc;script;ciscowlc5

Changed to semi-colons:

vim /usr/local/rancid/var/networking/router.db
wlchost;ciscowlc;up

rancid-run

tail -f var/logs/networking.20140507.10330

Trying to get all of the configs.
Unknown option: t
ciscowlc wlogin error: Error: Unknown host ciscowlc
ciscowlc: missed cmd(s): show sysinfo,show udi,show run-config commands
ciscowlc: End of run not found

Thanks for your time and patience.
