[rancid] Cisco WLC

[David Mantock]

Hello All,

I have seen on this board scripts to backup cisco WLC devices. What is the suggested procedure to include:

wlogin and ciscowlc scripts in standard rancid.

Do you have to update the normal rancid script to call these?

How do you configure router.db file e.g

mydevice:ciscowlc:up

Any inputs are much appreciated.

As Jeremy suggested it would be nice if there was a little Howto as some people already have this working.

Thanks and best regards,
David

OK here is the howto:

Update rancid-fe:

# diff rancid-fe rancid-fe.20100217
61d60
< 'ciscowlc' => 'ciscowlc5',


Add the scripts wlogin and ciscowlc5 to the rancid bin directory.

Make sure they are executable.

Update the router.db file

<your wlc>:ciscowlc:up

Test

ciscowlc5 -d <your wlc>

This works for me now. Thanks to Ryan for the scripts.

Regards,
David

Yup, unless it's a version 5, in which case it would be ciscowlc5. The only difference is that 'show running-config' (version 4) has been moved to 'show run-config commands' in version 5. Pretty sure with basic version check, the proper command file could be parsed.

Place wlogin, ciscowlc, and ciscowlc5 in your bin directory of the RANCID install. Then add the following two lines to your $PREFIX/bin/rancid-fe file:

'cisco-wlc' => 'ciscowlc',
'cisco-wlc5' => 'ciscowlc5',

That should be it.

Did you check "show run" on both platforms? It should work on both since
cisco allows short commands as long as its uniq.

Thanks,

One would wish cisco would have some consistency :-(...

I guess there is not many options here.

Thanks,

(Cisco Controller)>show run
Incorrect usage. Use the '?' or<TAB> key to list commands.
(Cisco Controller)>show run-config
Press Enter to continue...
System Inventory
NAME: "Chassis" , DESCR: "4400 Series WLAN Controller:25 APs"
This is not the configuration, but live information, including channel power, clients connected, and internal temperature information which will change often.
(Cisco Controller)>show running-config
Notice: "show running-config" has been changed to be an alias to "show run-config".
Use "show run-config commands" to display the configuration commands.
Press Enter to continue or<Ctrl-Z> to abort...
System Inventory
NAME: "Chassis" , DESCR: "4400 Series WLAN Controller:25 APs"
(Cisco Controller)>show run-config commands
System Inventory
NAME: "Chassis" , DESCR: "4400 Series WLAN Controller:12 APs"
(Cisco Controller)>show run-config
Press Enter to continue...
System Inventory
NAME: "Chassis" , DESCR: "4400 Series WLAN Controller:12 APs"
(Cisco Controller)>show running-config
802.11a cac voice tspec-inactivity-timeout ignore
802.11a cac voice stream-size 84000 max-streams 2
802.11b cac voice tspec-inactivity-timeout ignore
(Cisco Controller)>show run
Incorrect usage. Use the '?' or<TAB> key to list commands.
Unfortunately, like a lot of cannibalized Cisco purchases, there is not a unified CLI.

see the way the rancid/cisco ios script deals with this problem. run
both, take which ever one works.
