Hi,

Does anyone have RANCID scripts for the Casa 3200 CMTS?

Greetings Arjan

Subject: [rancid]  Menu-only and/or TFTP-only equipment
Message-ID: <4C599357.1000604@sneakemail.com>

I'm evaluating Rancid's suitability for our purposes and have a few 
questions:

Some equipment (e.g. some HP equipment as far as I remember and 
definitely some Nortel/BayStack equipment) only supports ncurses menus 
where one has to send arrow-up, arrow-down, "Enter" etc and sift through 
the ncurses output.

We're ok to expand RANCID's functionality (and send patches back! :-) 
but we need menu navigation to be possible. Are there any of the 
existing equipment types that succesfully navigate a menu?

It doesn't look to me like RANCID's split into a Tcl/expect based *login 
and a perl based *rancid is well suited for scripting this sort of 
interaction. (In fact hpuifilter seems to have been written exactly to 
avoid this nastiness)

Also, we have some equipment that only supports getting the 
configuration via a TFTP server:
* Telnet to equipment
* Navigate through menus to send config to TFTP server
* exit telnet
* Retreive info via TFTP
Has anybody succesfully needed/done that?

It looks like this project uses CVS. Is there access to the repository 
from the outside? Or is the code only visible through the .tar.gz files 
at each release?

No, that is not the case... Nobody else is mucking with it, I promise.

Running with CVS and there are no problems. I've looked in the changelog 
for 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 and subversion/svn is not mentioned.

Does svn work for anybody else?

Is there a bug here?

Has this been fixed in 2.3.4? Would it help to upgrade to 2.3.4 (I'd 
rather keep all my /usr controlled with debian packages unless I have to 
manually install...)

I've tried to install the patch in 
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2006-August/001679.html (which 
isn't applied to 2.3.4 either) but it doesn't completely fix the issue. 
Is there any reason why this patch wasn't applied or even commented on? 
The only reference I could find to it was in 
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2007-February/002046.html 
that says that it worked if I ran rancid-run twice. Which is true, it does.

This patch *does* fix it though. I'm just worried why nobody else is 
seeing this:

Subject: [rancid]  Still not working RANCID (2.3.4) with Cisco w/o 'enable'
Message-ID: 

Good day, some weeks ago i have a problem that Racnid didn't work  if i only
have unprivelege mode on Cisco device (only > promt).
In 2.3.4 version there is changes that i want - "rancid: Accept '>' prompt,
rather than just '#'"

I am clear all my old Rancid file and configs and install 2.3.4 version, but
it still the same:
At the end of /usr/local/libexec/rancid/rancid file i commented all
commands, and insert instead "show running-config" - "show configuration"

OS - FreeBSD
Here some of config:
/usr/local/libexec/rancid]# vi /usr/local/etc/rancid/.cloginrc
*# THIS IS FOR CISCO
add noenable 172.16.2.3 1
#add autoenable 172.16.2.3 1
add user 172.16.2.3 username
add password 172.16.2.3 password
add method 172.16.2.3 ssh*

All work just fine - no enable promt - show configuration- that is all we
need:
*
 /usr/local/libexec/rancid/clogin -t 90 -c"show configuration" 172.16.2.3
172.16.2.3
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l username 172.16.2.3
username at 172.16.2.3's password:*
...*
and here we can see all information from  'show **configuration**' command*


If i try run rancid-run in my logs i will see:
*Getting missed routers: round 2.
172.16.2.3: missed cmd(s): show **configuration*
*172.16.2.3: End of run not found
*
and so on.

If i make all of that with enable configuration (# promt) - all works fine.


Help me pls!

I'm using it with a set of M6220 blade switches.  It's working fine
for me.  I did also apply the patch at
http://www.rickyninja.net/rancid/patches/echo-newline-final-exit-3324.txt,
but I can't remember if that was needed for the M6220 because I'm also
using it on some old 3324s.

I used the RhysEvans guide to install rancid and everything seems to be
working except viewvc.
I used tortois to verify that the cvs is working, but I really want the
viewvc web interface to work too.

This is what I see in the apache error log:

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong ?

i dont use it.  my guess is that you have a syntax error in that config
file.  i suspect it is just perl syntax and perl -c configfilename might
be a good way to verify the syntax of the file.

it should not be necessary to svn/cvs update prior to running rancid
for a group.  if the checkout in rancid's dir needs an update, then
someone other than rancid commited a change - or your machine crashed and
munged the fsys or your version of cvs/svn has a problem or someone killed
a cvs/svn process that rancid was running.  so, either someone is trying to
hide config changes or something is broken.

ie: we'd rather know that there is intereference or a problem than have
rancid run the update.  this has NEVER occured on my rancid boxes; I'm
using cvs primarily and have used svn for testing only.

the second part of that patch should also not be necessary; a) localhost
is not necessary, but the url should be file:///$CVSROOT/$GROUP, and b)
the update should not necessary unless something is broken.  I'd apply
either or both of these if I understood why either would be necessary.

Martin,

Can you post your viewvc.conf? and the directory listing of where your
rancid CVS is? that should make it easy to fix this issue...hopefully.

Message-ID: <001A4B3282A7FA44ADC5FBAAB4727C3A0C1AB09725@mail4-sf.sf.bebe.com>

I'm a RANCID newbie and have most of my devices working under RANCID.  I'm stuck on the riverbed steelhead appliance.  I have search the archives and found rblogin but am unsure how to incorporate it into RANCID.   Has anyone gotten the Riverbed WAN accelerators to work.  Help is greatly appreciated.

the screen manipulation stuff really creates some headaches.  the hp
procurves are a good example of that and is the reason for the hpuifilter
program that attempts to strip that junk.  hpuifilter MIGHT would work
for your device; it used for a few besides the procurves.

nothing prevents the perl side from calling the expect side multiple
times, though that takes wall-clock time.

no, but its not beyond possibility.  maybe add a tftpboot base dir
variable to rancid.conf, use a subdir of that to receive files
($tftp/rancid/$hostconf), parse the config from there.  or $tftp/rancid/
$rancidgroup/$hostconf to avoid locking/contention.

the perl side could recurse on itself; ie: if the -f option is not
supplied, collect the config to the tftp dir, just proceed as the
other rancid-perl scripts do - process the config.

there is certainly a degree of ugliness to this.

sorry, no.  we tend to get some proprietary/EFT-type information and other
sensistive info from time to time.  that often turns-up in the repository
as new scripts.

we do want to create a "contrib" dir and offer http access to it.  i just
havent gotten around to figuring-out how to do that with svn.

Earle,

       The following post provides the basics for any script:
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2009-April/003817.html

       rblogin from the achives covers step 1 and 2
       >> 3 -- Add your new device type to rancid-fe
       elsif ($vendor =~ /^riverbed$/i)		{ exec('rbrancid', $router); }

       >> 4 -- Setup the new devices in router.db using your new device type
       shaggie.shrubbery.net:riverbed:up

       Pretty much match was it already done and you should be pretty much set.

Thanks,

      Bill

My bad: I tested it again. What I had done on all my previous attempts 
was that I modified router.db *and committed it*. If I just omitted the 
commit step, all went well:

as long as it is owned by the user who runs rancid and the update was made
in the rancid group directory, the update should not be necessary.  but,
the update to router.db will not appear in the next rancid run if its
already been committed.

Most of the config was already commented out, but I overlooked the *
[general]* section in the viewvc config and placed the *cvs_roots = Rancid:
/usr/local/rancid/var/CVS* in the top of the config instead of in the
assigned section.
The [cvsdb] section was already commented out so that didn't have an impact
when I added my cvsdb info.
So now it actually works :-)

Message-ID: 

Hi,
 
Does anyone know of a way or have a linux script that has the ability to
copy device configs to a fileserver?  We want to do this so that we can
have a safe tape backup of them in case of catastrophic failure.  We
currently do not back up the rancid server as we don't have a license to
do so.

linux is pretty easy:

rsync -av $RANCIDHOME/var $BACKUPUSER@$BACKUPHOST:$REMOTEBACKUPDIR

eg:

rsync -av /home/rancid/rancid/var rancid at fileserver:/backups/rancid

If you have a windows server, you could mount it via samba and then
use rysnc to the mounted filesystem, eg:

rsync -av /home/rancid/rancid/var /mnt/backups/rancid

you can use a NFS mounted drive or use AMANDA which is free.  Another  option if your fileserver is running windows is to create a samba share drive from the device configs directory, mount that directory on the windows fileserver and use windows scheduled tasks to copy them to a different location.

I usually use rsync. On windows server I have Delta Copy installed which 
acts as server. On rancid box, I have some korn shell scripts that has 
syntax like below.

rsync -vrtlz  --delete "/opt/rancid/var/configs" 
"172.20.100.10::rancid/" <= Where 172.20.100.10 is my windows srv and 
rancid is rsync server mount point.

Then run that script from cron.

Hope this helps,
Sam

make a script to tar the directory and copy it to your fileserver.

Thanks for all of the tips.  I actually set up samba on my rancid box and connect via a separate win server and copy the files up in a batch file I put in scheduled tasks.

Thanks again.

In fact, for what it's worth, I'm doing exactly what you asked to an

Hello List,

Does someone has been able to make it work?

Yes, already applied without success, same problem, the /usr/bin/rancid-run 
command never end.

i can't test that script, but your description begs the question of
whether you are using solaris or linux and have not applied the expect
patch (http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/#osystems).

Am using Linux and the expect patch has been applied to the expect source code 
and recompiled.

Here the log related to this Dell switch when running the /usr/bin/rancid-run

so, either the expect script closed the channel to ssh/telnet, or the
ssh/telnet command exited, or the device closed the connection prematurely.

doesnt the dell have its own login cmd?  your log has function call 'dsend'
which is not part of clogin.

sorry, those are all the easy things to test.  have to get dirty from here.
ktrace/strace/truss, expect -d / clogin -d, etc.

maybe the author of the dell module or somewith a dell can help you.

Subject: [rancid] fix for cygwin/vista ping failure?
Message-ID: 

I'm trying to get rancid working with cygwin on Windows Vista and
there's a problem with ping.

If I install the cygwin version of ping it doesn't work unless it's
run as the admin.  I don't normally log in as the administrator, so
http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-12/msg00374.html says to use the
native windoze ping.  Uninstall the cygwin version of ping, try
configure again & I get the
  "can't figure out how to pass count == 1 to $PING_PATH."
error msg from configure.  So I changed the configure script to also
check for the windows flavor of ping:

$PING_PATH -c 1 -v 127.0.0.1 > /dev/null 2>&1
if test $? -eq 0 ; then
    LG_PING_CMD="$PING_PATH -c 1"
else
    $PING_PATH 127.0.0.1 56 1 > /dev/null 2>&1
    if test $? -eq 0 ; then
        LG_PING_CMD="$PING_PATH"
    else
        # cygwin using windows ping?
        $PING_PATH -n 1 127.0.0.1 > /dev/null 2>&1
        if test $? -eq 0 ; then
            LG_PING_CMD="$PING_PATH -n 1"
        else
            as_fn_error "can't figure out how to pass count == 1 to
$PING_PATH." "$LINENO" 5
            exit 1
        fi
    fi
fi

./configure && make && make install
works now as does clogin :)

Now that I've got this far - how do I test it?  As far as I can tell
only lg.cgi uses ping & I'm not planning on using any of the
lookingglass stuff..

Thanks,
Lee

Shouldn't the example for noenable in cloginrc.sample be changed from

I don't think. Anyway thanks for your help here. I think that's one of the 
reason why the author of Rancid doesn't include Dell support into Rancid.

set-up the lg; it uses ping to see if the router is reachable before
trying to connect to it.

no, that directive does not work that way.  the login scripts would need
to be changed to allow this.

What am I doing wrong then?  With this in my .cloginrc
add noenable *
a 'clogin -c "sh ip eigrp int" ciscoRouter' goes into enable mode
before doing the show command.  If I change it to
add noenable * 1
it doesn't get into enable mode before doing the command.

Thanks,

I got as far as this bit in the lg_intro man page
  The looking glass offers a web based interface to routers to users
without their needing permission to login ...
and quit reading.  There's no web interface on the machine I want to
install rancid on and I really don't want a web based interface to
routers, much less a web based interface to routers to users without
permission to login.  Is the lookingglass a required part of rancid?

Apologies is this has been answered before (just joined the litstserv
today and am still wrapping my mind around RANCID).

Can RANCID work on non-standard equipment, particularly ones that DO
NOT allow you to output something nice and "scriptable" (e.g. Cisco's
"show running-config"). A horrid networking appliance got shoved down
our NOC's throat, and it does not output a config that is easily
copy/paste-able.  Because this appliance is extremely important, we're
looking to keep track of (and alert on) config changes.

(If not RANCID, any other suggestions?)

A lot of non cisco devices are supported, what type of device are you trying to backup?

D-Link and BelAir wireless devices are some of what we have to
monitor.  Many more weird ones are on the Horizon.

Does RANCID allow you to monitor devices that don't easily output
their config?  (Some of these devices make you go into each directory
and type out a command that gives the status, but not in a format that
is copy/pastable)

As long as the devices have a CLI, you should be able to run scripts 
against them using Expect (and autoexpect).  Modify that script such that 
you have variables for IP and prompts, etc. and you can monitor most any 
product.  It won't be pretty, but it's doable.

obviously it is lying.

while temped to leave it at that, try your login tests as the user who
runs rancid using the name used in the router.db.

none are currently supported.  as mentioned in a recent thread, its possible
that a script could, for example, tftp a config from a device, copy that
config to (or compile multiple tftp'd files int) router.db_devicename.raw,
then treat the like rancid does for the NOPIPE option (see rancid.conf(5)).

sorry, more specifically it does not work like autoenable; any value turns it

82.3% of the time i see this, the device has a new ssh host key that is
in my ~/.aah/known_hosts but not in rancid's

sorry.  looking at the code, it is inconsistent.  in one place, any
value enables it, elsewhere only '1' is accepted.  i blame Hank,
because its fun.  i'll change it so that only '1' turns it on.

Michael Stefaniuc wrote "wrancid" which allowed you to use an arbitrary 
script to obtain "a config", for rancid to work against.  I updated and 
tweaked it a bit, see the following for more details:

  http://sites.google.com/site/jrbinks/code/rancid/wraprancid

but beware: I haven't tested this in a long time, don't actually use it 
day to day currently, and don't remember that much about it :).

Blame and responsibility repel each other.  I'll take all the blame but
then the responsibility gets shed elsewhere.  This is also true of blame
and fault.

Besides, John got it updated in the code well before I even had my coffee.

Subject: [rancid] reason for autoenable?
Message-ID: 

  ... more newbie questions

If the userid automatically gets priv level 15 at login and you forget
to set the autoenable flag the clogin script times out waiting for the
">" prompt.  Why was the autoenable flag added instead of changing the
expect script to look for # or >?  It seems nicer not to require a
flag...

clogin line 743:
	set ae [find autoenable $router]
	if { "$ae" == "1" } {
	    set autoenable 1
	    set enable 0
	    set prompt "(#| \\(enable\\))"
	} else {
	    set autoenable 0
	    set enable $avenable
	    # --old-- set prompt ">"
	    set prompt "(>|#| \\(enable\\))"
	}

and
clogin -c "sh int status err-dis" switchName
now works if I use a regular userid or one that has enable privs at login time.

Thanks,
Lee

Subject: [rancid] cygwin + long hostname = clogin hang
Message-ID: 

clogin hangs when I use it from cygwin to ssh into a cisco switch with
a long hostname.

It looks like a bug in cygwin expect causes the timeout.  The
        expect {
            -re $reprompt       { }
at line 611 fails if I've got a long hostname configured on the cisco switch:

expect: does "2ndFloorLibrarySW>" (spawn_id 4) match regular
expression "2ndFloorLib([^#>\r\n]+)?[#>](\([^)\r\n]+\))?"? no
"[\n\r]+"? no
expect: timed out

If I change the pattern to include more of the hostname the match works:
expect: does "2ndFloorLibrarySW>" (spawn_id 4) match regular
expression "2ndFloorLibrar([^#>\r\n]+)?[#>](\([^)\r\n]+\))?"? yes
expect: set expect_out(0,string) "2ndFloorLibrarySW>"
expect: set expect_out(1,string) "ySW"
expect: set expect_out(spawn_id) "4"
expect: set expect_out(buffer) "2ndFloorLibrarySW>"

so my work-around is to use up to 21 characters of the hostname in
reprompt.  Line 610 changes from
  regsub -all {^(.{1,11}).*([#>])$} $prompt
{\1([^#>\r\n]+)?[#>](\\([^)\\r\\n]+\\))?} reprompt

And then at clogin line 423, if a timeout happens clogin hangs until I
open task manager and kill the ssh process (C in the terminal
window doesn't kill it).  The 'catch{close}; catch{wait};' doesn't end
the ssh session.  Adding a 'send "exit\r"' fixes the hang for me:

        # This helps cleanup each expect clause.
        expect_after {
            timeout {
                send_user "\nError: TIMEOUT reached\n"
                send "exit\r"           ;# --LR--
                catch {close}; catch {wait};
                if { $in_proc} {
                    return 1
                } else {
                    continue
                }

We have a couple of IOS 11.2 and 11.3 devices in our shop an they work
fine with rancid. What version of RANCID are you using? (clogin -V)

Did you try to run rancid by hand (rancid -d device) to see where it
goes wrong?

Write-term seems to work ok, other than it outputs the config again.
Show running-config does what you'd expect.

Folks,

 I'd appreciate knowing the current state of affairs with regards to
RANCID's
ability to gather BOTH the F5 "bigip.conf", and the "bigip_base.conf"
files. 

I've seen references to RANCID scripts which can do this, but right now
I'm
only seeing the "bigip.conf" files. 


thanks

Found a fix.

You need to disable file prompt:

pxy-sw-18#conf t
Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.
pxy-sw-18(config)#no file prompt
pxy-sw-18(config)#exit
pxy-sw-18#write mem
Building configuration...
[OK]


After that, when I invoke "more system:running-config" I am no longer
prompted for the filename:

pxy-sw-18#more system:running-config
Building configuration...

I have been to busy with work to test the scripts properly. I have
tested them against one of our BSR's which did work. Some things I
did notice:
      * Our in-house scripts run 'show running-config verbose' while
        motorancid just runs 'show running-config'. I am not sure
        whether
  I will test
them after my holiday,

maybe try the linux/solaris expect patches.

these are the commands that it collects

Thank you, Ron and Lance for the quick responses.  After posting I
found this, as well:

We're doing an upgrade on the ASA tonight.  :)

Subject: [rancid] F5 bigpipe shell user
Message-ID: 

Hello all,

I'm new with rancid, so please forgive any naivety!

I'm trying to setup rancid to access a F5 3600 LTM running 10.2.  The
account that rancid uses is a limited account, it's Role is "guest" and it's
terminal access is set to "bigpipe shell".  It's basically a read-only
account that can only list the config.  The prompt that this user gets is
"bp>".  Currently the only command I need to run is "b list".

Does rancid version 2.3.4 support this out of the box? Or do I need to edit
something outside of .cloginrc and router.db?

Would I be better off abandoning this approach and just allow the user full
shell access, i.e. root with a "user at hostname ~ #" prompt?

FWIW, I do have rancid working fine with other Cisco and Juniper devices.

i'll blame Hank again.  autoenable just simplifies the code by moving the
burden.

I have a patch to remove it, but it still wants to enable.  i'd like poeple
to test before its is committed.  see attached.

no; i dont have any of these, but not long ago a user told me that the >
prompt had been deprecated.  somewhere along the line of trying to get
the f5 module working properly, that support was removed.  this was
probably also related to the changes in commands collected.

Subject: [rancid] Change of device from Extreme to Cisco - clogin does not

Message-ID: 

Good Morning, I am hoping that you can help with this problem? I have changed a device from Extreme to Cisco, but now the device config will not update. I have tested login using the command

 clogin 

and it logs in to exec mode (>), but then it seems to hang - it does not 'type' enable and login to priv mode (#).

(it seems to 'remember' that it was Extreme)

I have tried removing it completely, and leaving RANCID to do its thing, then re-adding it, but to no avail. I have added it into RANCID under a false name in DNS, and this works correctly.

Is there a fix for this?

Many thanks in advance for your excellent product, and any help you may provide

I'll be glad to give it a try; I need to apply the patch to clogin.in
and then do a "make && make install" - correct?

I'm not going to be at work 'til Monday, so it'll be a few days

Just out of curiosity - what made you pick up to the first 11 chars of

Is there some situation where sending "exit\r" after getting a timeout
would be a bad idea?

I found an expect doc that said 'close' was supposed to close an open
connection, but it clearly doesn't for ssh with cygwin expect.
Changing the length of reprompt is a cygwin work-around (and if anyone
else runs into the same problem, the work-around is in the archives
now :), but is sending an exit after getting a timeout a cygwin
work-around or a not-so-bad idea for general use?

> you could also try a unix box

$WORK can be a bit strange.  I've got PC admin privs, in part, to
'evaluate software' but I was told that I couldn't install this
software on a linux box until I got the software approved.  *sigh*

Thanks,
Lee

either clogin or clogin.in; the patch affects nothing that is replaced by
the autoconf process.

I must admit, that one is my fault.  It is a product of having working
code long ago, changing some of our routers to autoenable for some
account and realizing I needed to update rancid to match.  It was how my
brain works...I like to explicitly tell programs what I want and expect.
 The more thinking they do for me, the more mistakes can get hidden.
This one, however, is a bit overkill in hindsight.

i do not remember exactly how I arrived at 11, but it is a balance of
being as long as possible to be unique and maintaining the match when in
configure mode (see -x and -s).
