[rancid] Extreme Issues

[Chris Kilian]

Hi guys

Got Rancid working for all Cisco etc devices but when trying to get the same working for Extreme I am seeing some strange things in the log file. It looks as if Rancid is not seeing the whole config past one page. And then fails on end of run not found, the below shows what I mean

.16.192.246: End of run not found
Press <SPACE> to continue or <Q> to quit

That line above is what you get when you ssh/telnet to the box and need to press space bar etc to continue seeing the config.

Anyone got any ideas at all?


Kind Regards

Chris

It's been a while since I configured RANCID for our Extreme but I
think I had to put the patch on Expect on before it worked. The
Expect version was different than the patch came from so I had to
manually find where to change the code. The patch is on the main page
for RANCID.

Hey there Chris,
I've been having some issues with this the past few days as well. I tried
the expect version (and tcl) that rancid has posted to the ftp site, but ran
into more errors that without it. I did have my 48si's running ExtremeWare
working just fine, but the expect hack broke the 48si's and did not resolve
the issue for the 8810s running XOS.
So I did some more digging and found this post from back in 2007.
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2007-May/002219.html

I used the patches for clogin and xrancid as described in the attachment.bin
listed on this post, and it worked well. However, it will break any cisco
devices that use the clogin, so I actually made another copy of clogin and
called it xoslogin, then edited xrancid to use xoslogin rather than clogin.
All works fine now for both the xos and extremeware devices.

Hope this helps,
Patty
