[rancid] Support for the Cisco SF300

[Remy van Elst]

Howdy,

Does RANCID supports the Cisco SF300 SMB switches? The regular 'cisco' and
the 'cisco-sb' (from
http://chrpinedo.blogspot.nl/2012/03/cisco-small-business-sg300-backup-with
.html) give me an empty file in the cvs, while direct logging in on the
switch and doing a sho ru (after enable) works just fine.

Any tips or help?

Have you checked the usual:

- password, username and method correct in ~/.cloginrc
- No ">" and "#" chars in banner
- prompt is sane (ends in # when enabled)
- does clogin <hostname> work and enable the user?
- what's in the logs?

- "rancid -d <hostname>" leaves a .new file in . that often contains clues

I have updated original Christian Pinedo's work for support Cisco Small
Business switch in Rancid:
- Rancid 2.3.8 support
- End of run fix (important for be sure to get the full configuration
dump)

Updated files can be found in attachment.
