[rancid] Rancid with Brocade 6510

[Charles Gagnon]

Is anyone using rancid on Brocades 6510 running FOS v 7.2.1b.

We just added 4 of those to our network and can't seem to get it working.

I had to make a short mod to flogin to get it working. I changed:

set avenable 0

So that you could flogin without adding the "--noenable" since these
switches don't have an enable and the prompts ends with ">".

So flogin works but even if I add them to my router.db as
"brocade-fc1;foundry;up", I still fail to retrieve anything from it.

Logs:

brocade-fc1 flogin error: Error: TIMEOUT reached
brocade-fc1: missed cmd(s): show chassis,show module,show flash,show
running-config,write term
brocade-fc1: End of run not found

Those commands don't seem to match what would work this OS yet I keep
seeing people online using Foundry for Brocades.

This is all on Rancid 3.0 (I had perl issues with sockets when going to 3.2
- though if it's the solution, I will work on upgrading perl).

there is a noenable cloginrc directive.

you do not need to upgrade perl; just install a new version of Sockets.pm
from cpan.org. but, 3.2 does not have anything that will fix your brocade
problem.

So the Brocade problem is something I cannot work around? I guess someone
would need to write something to handle the devices?

Is that right?

I mean that nothing has changed that would have affected Brocade.
