[rancid] Extreme XOS and rancid-2.3.8

[Mickey Everts]

This is my first try at using rancid, but so far so good. We have quite a
few Extreme X460-48t switches running ExtremeXOS version 12.5 and above.
Things mostly work, but there is some annoying behavior that appears be
random.



Here is an example of the issue:



In the "networking router config diffs" email, it looks like this:



Index: configs/sw1-hq

===================================================================

retrieving revision 1.2

diff -U 4 -r1.2 sw1-hq

@@ -9,8 +9,10 @@

#Bootrom: 2.0.1.0

#

#

#

+ show configuration

+ #

# Module devmgr configuration.

#





In the next email there would be a similar diff with this instead:



- show configuration

- #







And here is a the log. Note that it's not always the same switches
affected.
