Thanks for your comments... as you said I configured switches to skip banner
and menu, the only think I didn't knew is how to disable the menu after
doing a "logout" or "exit" in the CLI, currently that's the only step when I
have to do a "send 'logout\rL'" (by the way, in the login step I was meaning
a Ctrl-Y + C, no Ctrl-Y + L) xD
Another question, I'm trying to capture all the switch configuration
(ERS-5520) using the "show run", but I cannot avoid the "--- More (press
return... ---" pagination, I saw that rancid try to send a "more off"
command before asking for config, but It is a not valid command in ERS-5520
switches, do you know how to tell the switch to skip the pagination issue?
Thanks a lot.

Post by Francois MikusHello,
Do you have consistency in the capture of the Ctrl-Y + L.
I have found in testing against 470s(which use the same Menu as the
ERS-55x0), that it works 95% of the time. But the more commands are
issued in the Menu, the more likely the rancid jams in a loop. I have
successfully configured and tested rancid for ERS-1600, ERS-8600,
ES-470s with my new custom modules based brancid, another which I can't
remember.
Increasing delay before sending commands does help, but it has not
reached the magic 100% reliability of a regular CLI method.
I would suggest configuring your switches to always come up in CLI
instead of menu, avoiding all of this hassle. Rancid can automate the
configuration of CLI mode. Just run it once, check your logs, then
correct the outsanding ones. Or just run rancid a couple times. ;-)
Cheers,
Francois Mikus
Post by Juan Carlos HuertaI made some modifications to blogin to support the Nortel Baystack
5520 UI (Ctrl-Y + "L" to enter directly to the CLI), I'l be glad to
cooperate in the project if you think it's ok.

I'm working in a little modification to blogin to support this,
I'll let you know any update.
Post by Juan Carlos HuertaHi all,
Is there any support with blogin to Nortel siwtches with UI?
(in my case
Post by Juan Carlos Huerta5520). I want to connect to it using blogin, but the problem
is that when I
Post by Juan Carlos Huertatry to ssh my switch it shows an UI (Press Ctrl+Y, use arrow
keys, etc)
sorry, such UIs are not supported.
