[rancid] Fortigate 100 or 200

[Richard Owen]

Anybody got Rancid working with Fortigate 100 or 200? I have the 200 working via ssh and running get config
Thanks

Is that's 'fnrancid'? Been using it for many months now.

I think I may have found the problem! we're using a super old version 2.5 on the Fortigates, as someone has been to lazy to upgrade them, even though we had a subscription to all updates until last year!!! (I've only just joined and have been tasked of backing up all network enitities) once upgraded to 3.0, the features used in the fnrancid work perfectly. For now though I have hacked both the fnlogin and fnrancid to get it working. I've changed the command from "show full-configuration" to "get config" in fnrancid, and commented out the disable paging mechanisms but added 15 send "/r" at that point, so when a --press <return> to continue, or q to quit-- is prompted, there's enough returns in the buffer to complete the paging of the config and therefore get a full backup.
If anyone has experienced the same problem, it would great to know how you fixed it.

I would but there EOL and just getting a backup incase they go bang. The only problem with upgrading, is that the config is completely different plus it gets wiped and not migrated when you upgrade the fortiOS :-(

If they are Fortigate 100’s and 200’s not at least B or C models the devices aren’t even upgradable to 4.0 code I don’t think.

awesome product.

you will need to add code to fnlogin to respond and strip the pager prompts.
hlogin is a decent for an example of the more convoluted.
