Message-ID: <42F0C766A9A8DB47B5E86CA64738DC8B02150EC4@bilbo.bdhz.c2c.local>

Hi lists,

I have an issue when I configure a l2tp-class with a password in it, every
time I do a "sho run" the level 7 encrypted password is shown differently.
When using Rancid for config backups, every time Rancid runs I receive a
complaint my config has "changed".

According to Cisco's TAC this is expected behavior.... 
Apart from the option to not-encrypt passwords any ideas how to solve this?

Martin

Hi

Here is a document I have created to get this up and running, it doesn't cover the OS setup, security or anything other than getting rancid and CVS up and running. This is also what worked for me (a few times now) but it may not work for you

Obviously standard terms apply, use at you own risk, I'm not responsible for any issues arising from following this doc etc etc

Thanks

Tacacs+ works fine on Nexus, and rancid works also.
You need a priv. level for you tacacs+ user and more do not use numbers as the first character in the user name. It's unix.

Message-ID: <AANLkTimDZbq7RBff2FTbdh6UH9TqwXV8pbkG4ErHe0Yg@mail.gmail.com>

Hello,

I hope someone can help sove this issue;

I use rancid to backup configs og Cisco switches, firewalls, access points
and in general this all works perfect.

However, for one particular switch, a Cisco WS-C2960-8TC-L, I get the same
mail with subject "switches router config diffs" every hour regarding this
switch. The mails have the same contents and the same size, so why does it
send? I deleted the switch from router.db, waited until it was moved to
attic and then created it again - result is the same.

Any idea how I can make it act normally?

Best regards,
Ronni

What version of code are you running on the switch and where are the diffs coming from?  Are the VLANs being formatted differently?  Do you have dot1x configured on the switch?

Ronni,

Can you make a small inconsequential change (such as interface description),
and it affects the RANCID generated email?

If the new email includes the interface description change PLUS all the
other previous changes, it's possible that your  file permissions have
changed, and that (the userid running) RANCID isn't able to modify the
config for the device in question.

regards,
Hock Jim

Thank you for the replies.. I'll try to answer the questions;

- I am using this version: rancid-2.3.2-3.fc12.i686

I tried changing the description (on Fa0/8) and as you can see from this
config snippet, it includes both the new line but also the whole config +
old configs :-/

------------------------------------
*+ interface FastEthernet0/6
+  description CrossOver cable between MPLS-SW01 and MPLS-SW02
+  switchport access vlan 350
+  switchport mode access
+ !
+ interface FastEthernet0/7
+  description CrossOver cable between MPLS-SW01 and MPLS-SW02
+  switchport access vlan 150
+  switchport mode access
+ !
+ interface FastEthernet0/8
+  description C2940 Management Interface
+  switchport access vlan 150
+  switchport mode access*
------------------------------------

I get this in the logs for switches though:

------------------------------------
Trying to get all of the configs.
All routers sucessfully completed.

cvs diff: Diffing .
cvs diff: Diffing configs
cvs commit: Examining .
cvs commit: Examining configs
cvs commit: Up-to-date check failed for `configs/sw11'
cvs commit: Up-to-date check failed for `configs/sw03'
cvs commit: Up-to-date check failed for `configs/sw06'
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!

ending: Wed Jul 7 09:15:38 CEST 2010
------------------------------------

..and it's sw03, 06 and 11 in all logs. Permissions looks ok, and the config
files get updated:

-rw-r----- 1 rancid rancid 14561 2010-07-07 09:15 sw03
-rw-r----- 1 rancid rancid  8798 2010-07-07 09:15 sw04

-rw-r----- 1 rancid rancid 48477 2010-07-07 09:15 sw11

Please let me know if you need more info?

Best regards,
Ronni

Not sure if you received a response yet. If not then.... rancid works
with the 7K's and 5K's. I had to use a special rancid file provided by
this list. If you don't find it in the archives let me know and I can
unicast it to you.


Thanks,

Ian Stong

Subject: [rancid]  HP switch garbled output results in Expect timeout
Message-ID: <20100711203455.GG4516@3oh1.uhds.oregonstate.edu>

Running stock RANCID version 2.3.3 on Debian Squeeze (not the Debian
package, this is installed from source):

expect                              5.44.1.15-1
tcl8.5                              8.5.8-2

It seems that some component is garbling output and causing Expect to
time out on all of my HP switches. Here is some sample output:

--- 8< ---

# HOME=/root ./hlogin -c 'show version' <MYSWITCH>

Pr key to key to ctntieue

--- >8 ---

I noticed that the line:

ProC1HProCurve J4899B Switch 2650

has Pro repeated with an extraneous "C1H", and the last line (which is
the culprit, I think):

Pr key to key to ctntieue

should obviously be "Press any key to continue", which causes Expect to
hang.

Does anyone have any ideas about what could be causing this? I run
RANCID on a daily basis, and the next run after I upgraded some
packages, I noticed RANCID runs started timing out:

2010-06-14 08:24:44 upgrade libc6-dev 2.10.2-9 2.11.1-3
2010-06-14 08:24:45 upgrade libc-dev-bin 2.10.2-9 2.11.1-3

2010-06-14 08:25:32 upgrade libgeoip1 1.4.7~beta3+dfsg-2 1.4.7~beta5+dfsg-1

I don't know if any of these could have caused the problems, but the
coincidence is enough to make me think there might be something to it.

Thanks for any ideas,

Gordon

You're right, you can use the -x switch to push config to several switches at once. We use it regularly to make sure a set of devices are configured the same way, like this:
  bin/clogin -x <file>  switch1 switch2 switch3 switch4

Just place the set of commands to execute in the text file and run clogin. It will log in to each device, run the set of commands and log off again. The list of commands can for example be:
 conf t
 enable secret <something>
 exit
 wr mem


If you only need to execute one command on each device, instead use the -c switch like this:
  bin/clogin -c "show version"  switch1 switch2 switch3 switch4

Arne Svennevik

Subject: [rancid]  Rancid / CVSWeb Problem
Message-ID: <045501cb22f1$75ae96f0$610bc4d0$@com>

When I add a new router to Rancid it will pick up the config from a router
and place it in /home/rancid/var/rancid/Adtran/configs as expected.  When I
go to look at the config in CVS web it will show the router with version 1.1
and show the last log entry as new router.  The only work around is to log
into the router and make some small change to the config.   

 

Does anyone know how to get CVS to display the config even if there are no
changes to version 1.1 of a config?

 

Richey

choose 'download' (or whatever the link is) to get the full config,
rather than the diffs.

Hi there,

How can I perform the backup of a single device? 
I have rancid configured with a couple of groups and around
 a dozen devices per group. What if I want to backup
a single device from one of the groups? Or even a few devices
 from different groups.

Thanks,

Jose

I am not sure if this is what others would recommend, but I would make another group and just run rancid against that new group you made.  Can't be too hard to do that, can it?

Alternatively, you can just run a script to invoke clogin so it runs the specific commands you want.  That was just discussed in the list a few days ago.

Assuming I'm understanding the question correctly, you can have RANCID
ignore any specific device by setting its status  to "down" in the
router.db file.  Only devices tagged as "up" will be audited.

Newbie:Using cfg files instead real connection to equipment

I want to use RANCID with Juniper (J and M series) and cisco routers (several models)  but  the administration wants to minimize the amount of people connected to the real equipment, so there are a daily cfg files are located in a share directory and the idea is using them instead a direct connection to the boxes,  is it that possible?

Base on the cvs philosophy I think the files could be used for populating the repository but I cannot be able to find out if RANCID allows that.

What steps do I need to follow?

Thank you in advance,

vmut

not really.  why not reverse it; remove some folks' access and let them
access the rancid repository via cvsweb instead.

You need to be aware that rancid stores more than just the config.  It
stores vlan info, hardware inventory, and more.  Your admin probably
isn;t storing nearly as much info.

That said, a while ago I wrote a plugin called "filerancid" that does
more or less what you want.  It's tuned to my environment but
editable.  I have defined a directory ~rancid/custom/ to hold stuff
for this plugin.  The logic then goes like this:

For device = $device
  if there exists an executable named ~rancid/custom/bin/hosts/$device
    execute ~rancid/custom/bin/hosts/$device
  process ~rancid/custom/files/$device as the "new" device config
  after this rancid's normal cvs checkin and alert stuff takes over

The idea is that you can store device configs in
~rancid/custom/files/$device via an external process or, by naming it
in the bin/hosts dir the same as the device name, cause the plugin
itself to execute a script to update the file.

I used this as a "rapid adoption" method for several device types
while working out how to get them to work more formally (for instance,
dell power connect switches).  The only thing I use it for now is some
old Cisco 3005 VPN Concentrators that I don't care about enough to get
a better system.

I've attached a copy of filerancid if you're interested.  There are
two lines with the path /home/rancid/rancid in them.  Both of these
would need to be edited with the correct path to whereever you put
your "custom" directory.

In addition, you need to add the following to rancid-fe:

     'file'            => 'filerancid',

Then in your router.db file the device type would be "file".

Hope that helps some.

John,

Any chance the already included SPEC file can be updated with what I
have here so it will work with RANCID-2.3.4 right away? It might also
be of help to others to have the rpmbuild instructions...especially if
they want an RPM but aren't really familiar with building an RPM.

All,

After slightly modifying the spec file to match the current version
"2.3.4" everything seems to work without an issue. It does an install
(at least on CentOS 5.2) to /usr/bin/clogin...etc created a rancid
user directory of /var/rancid and copies the .cloginrc there just
fine.

For those that don't know how to create and rpm from a spec file. Here
are some short bits of info.
Follow the link below to setup your CentOS.
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SetupRpmBuildEnvironment

#
# Short Instructions:
#
Assumptions: It is assumed you have Expect 5.40 or greater installed,
your Time/Date are current, and you are not logged in as root.

Install rpm-build if it isn't already: sudo?yum install rpm-build
Install redhat-rpm-config if it isn't already:?sudo yum install
redhat-rpm-config
Create a build environment for your user (DO NOT USE ROOT):?mkdir -p
~/rpmbuild/{BUILD,RPMS,SOURCES,SPECS,SRPMS} Create your RPM macros
(it is assumed you have do not have a .rpmmacros file): echo '%_topdir
%(echo $HOME)/rpmbuild' > ~/.rpmmacros
Install Make if it isn't already: sudo yum install make
Install gcc if it isn't already: sudo yum install gcc
Download RANCID 2.3.4: wget
ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/rancid/rancid-2.3.4.tar.gz
Copy the RANCID tar.gz where rpmbuild will look for it: cp
rancid-2.3.4.tar.gz ~/rpmbuild/SOURCES/
Create the RPM spec file (see below for file contents): vi
~/rpmbuild/SPEC/rancid-2.3.4.spec
Change to the SPEC directory: cd ~/rpmbuild/SPEC/
Create the RPM/SRPMs: rpmbuild -ba rancid.2.3.4.spec

Copy/paste what I have below to the
"~/rpmbuild/SPEC/rancid-2.3.4.spec". Exclude ### Start and ###Stop
when you copy/paste.

%description
Rancid is a "Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ" developed to
maintain CVS controlled copies of router configs. Rancid is not limited
to Cisco devices. It currently supports Cisco routers, Juniper routers,
Catalyst switches, Foundry switches, Redback NASs, ADC EZT3 muxes, MRTd
(and thus likely IRRd), Alteon switches, and HP procurve switches and a
host of others.

%description lg
RANCID also includes looking glass software. It is based on Ed Kern's
looking glass which was once used for http://nitrous.digex.net/, for the
old-school folks who remember it. Our version has added functions, supports
cisco, juniper, and foundry and uses the login scripts that come with
rancid; so it can use telnet or ssh to connect to your devices(s).

it should refuse to return any files in the .old directory.  I do that to
stop people asking for support on those versions.  You should move to 2.3.4
instead.

Message-ID: <339990.63431.qm@web28514.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>

Hi all,

Rancid v2.3.4 cannot retrieve automatically my Extreme x650 switch's configuration using SSH when I use crontab :

0 * * * * NOPIPE=YES && export NOPIPE && /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-run -r lapgensw0

I have the following error in log file :

This issue seems to be related to SSH : if I replace "ssh" with "telnet" in .cloginrc I don't have the problem anymore (fetching by crontab is OK in this case).


I tried to modify rancid.conf (to resolve this crontab issue) :
# TERM=network;export TERM
TERM=vt100;export TERM
COLUMNS=160; LINES=48; export COLUMNS LINES
as I've read it somewhere in the list but this doesn't work.

I'm reading forum for days now but I didn't found topics related to the same problem. I upgraded Rancid from v2.3.3 to 2.3.4 and it didn't helped.


Any help is greatly appreciated (I could give more details if you give me some commands to test).

Thanks a lot for this awesome tool !

Subject: [rancid] Some lines are suppressed in Extreme X0S config files -
	Workaround
Message-ID: <402287.13906.qm@web28506.mail.ukl.yahoo.com>

Hi all,

when Rancid gets Extreme Networks x650's configuration, it misses 1 line every 20 or 30 lines.

It seems that Rancid suppresses the "Press <SPACE> to continue or <Q> to quit:" message but also the next[or previous?] line.

I didn't notice this behavior before because I didn't read carefully fetched config files until now.

My ExtremeXOS version is 12.3.3.6.

As a workaround, there is a "disable clipaging" command since XOS v10.1, that disable the "Press <SPACE> to continue etc..." message.
I know this is not the good way to do it but if I modify xrancid this way :

# diff xrancid xrancid.new 
414a415
>       {'disable clipaging'            => 'ShowVersion'},


I don't have this issue anymore and every line is collected as you can see below :

Message-ID: <20100727140839.GA13881@merboo.mamista.net>

Hi list

I'm trying to tune the signal to noise ratio from rancid and I have an issue
with VLAN 1 (Yes, yes, I know you shouldn't use it. Dealing with legacy
config here).

When a port in VLAN 1 goes down, the next time rancid runs I get diffs like:

When the port comes back up, I get the reverse.

Anyone figured out a way to stop the port memberships flapping or exclude it
from the rancid diffs?

cheers

Attached is my patch for 2.3.3, maybe you could try it? 
It works for us with quite a collection of Extremeware and ExtremeXos
versions.

BTW, to the rest of the list how can I get this patch included in the
default tarball of RANCID?

Greetings Arjan

Subject: [rancid]  Patch to skip the echoed cmd in write term
Message-ID: <1280240928.23196.62.camel@reddwarf>

Hi,

I have some patches I use in RANCID setup at work which I would like
to share and see included in new versions of RANCID.

One of these is the attached patch. We have some quite old IOS routers
where the "more system:running-config" command appeared in the
configuration backups after an upgrade to RANCID 2.3.3:

The routers seemed to echo the unknown command before indicating it
as an invalid command. A manual run confirmed this:
        
        example-router#more system:running-config
        more system:running-config
         ^
        % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
        
        example-router#show running-config
        Building configuration...
        
        Current configuration:

Because the cmd was not skipped in the WriteTerm procedure it got
included in the configuration backups. The attached patch fixes the
issue.

Could this patch be included in the next release of RANCID?

Greetings Arjan

One of these is the attached patch. 

In our network we have a set of BigBand Cuda 12000 CMTS-es which we

The result is attached.

Subject: [rancid]  Add -autoenable to clogin invocation of xrancid
Message-ID: <1280240929.23196.64.camel@reddwarf>

Hi,

I have some patches I use in RANCID setup at work which I would like
to share and see included in new versions of RANCID.

One of these is the attached patch. 

As Extreme switches don't know the concept of an enabled-modus you have
add an autoenable configuration statement to .cloginrc file. 
Sometimes people forget to add the autoenable statement to the .cloginrc
file when adding a new device which causes xrancid failure to make a
backup. 

I though it would make sense to always add the -autoenable argument to
clogin call in xrancid to circumvent this issue. (See attached patch)

Wat do you think, could/should this patch be included in the default
tarball of RANCID?

Greetings Arjan

Hi,

I have some patches I use in our RANCID setup at work which I would like
to share and see included in new versions of RANCID.

One of these is the attached patch. 

In our network we have a set of Motorola BSR64000 CMTS-es which we
backup with RANCID. For these devices we took some *login and *rancid
file and adjusted them until we had bsrlogin and bsrrancid. 

The result is attached.

Hi Sylvian,

We had the same problems and I had to patch clogin.in and xrancid.in:

arjan at reddwarf:~$ lsdiff
rancid-2.3.3/debian/patches/26_extremexos.dpatch 
rancid-2.3.3/bin/clogin.in

Attached is my patch for 2.3.3, maybe you could try it? 
It works for us with quite a collection of Extremeware and ExtremeXos
versions.

BTW, to the rest of the list how can I get this patch included in the
default tarball of RANCID?

Subject: [rancid]  Patch to skip the echoed cmd in write term
Message-ID: <1280238587.23196.40.camel@reddwarf>

Hi,

I have some patches I use in RANCID setup at work which I would like
to share and see included in new versions of RANCID.

One of these is the attached patch. We have some quite old IOS routers
where the "more system:running-config" command appeared in the
configuration backups after an upgrade to RANCID 2.3.3:

The routers seemed to echo the unknown command before indicating it
as an invalid command. A manual run confirmed this:
        
        example-router#more system:running-config
        more system:running-config
         ^
        % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
        
        example-router#show running-config
        Building configuration...
        
        Current configuration:

Because the cmd was not skipped in the WriteTerm procedure it got
included in the configuration backups. The attached patch fixes the
issue.

Could this patch be included in the next release of RANCID?

Greetings Arjan

Subject: [rancid] VLAN 1 port members change when port goes down

Hi list

I'm trying to tune the signal to noise ratio from rancid and I have an
issue
with VLAN 1 (Yes, yes, I know you shouldn't use it. Dealing with legacy
config here).

When a port in VLAN 1 goes down, the next time rancid runs I get diffs
like:

  !

  !VLAN: 110  VLAN0110                         active    


When the port comes back up, I get the reverse.

Anyone figured out a way to stop the port memberships flapping or
exclude it
from the rancid diffs?

cheers

IIRC, this occurs when VTP is enabled.  it may occur in other instances
that i'm not aware of.  either disable vtp or comment-out 'show vlan'
in the rancid script.

Subject: [rancid]  sflow timeout filter for dell PowerConnects
Message-ID: <AANLkTintzB3e_V0ezvWdbM5f_rr1Fy6DLaJo=jhtzFRm@mail.gmail.com>

For those who take advantage of sflow on the newer powerconnect firmware
(3.x supports it), you might find that the running-config now has a new
timeout value, which is a countdown.  Countdowns make babies cry.  While I
hate to see crying babies, sflow is way too useful to let a few whiny
infants get in my way of using it, so instead I decided to modify rancid to
stop informing me of this countdown reduction.

<               }

I'm putting in that high number because that is the highest the command
allows, and if you're wanting to paste it into a config again later, better
it to be a usable command and not an <ignored> or <removed> type of message.

My thanx to *john heasley *on the post at
http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2010-July/005065.html for
the hints I needed.

This is my first filter, so be kind.

Here is a patch which removes the system uptime in the output of newer

Subject: [rancid]  Making zrancid work from cron
Message-ID: <4C52C964.4010703@redpill-linpro.com>

Hi list,

I've got problems making RANCID fetch the config from a Quagga box when
running from cron.  It works fine when running from the command line,
but from cron I just get a "TIMEOUT reached" error in my logs.  It seems
the problem is with the pseudo-terminal allocation.  To demonstrate:  if
I add ?clogin -t 10 -c"show version;write term" rtr? to the rancid
user's crontab, the mail I get in return contains:

> rtr
> spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l rancid rtr

I tried adding ?-tt? to the ssh command line in clogin, but that had no
effect.  It works very well when I run it from the command line myself,
though.  Any suggestions on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated!

is this directly to bgpd or via 'zebra' (or whatever that vtysh daemon is
called)?

Hi,

> daemon is called)?

Neither, I've set up a UNIX account on the router that has
/usr/bin/vtysh as its login shell.  So clogin logs in to the standard
system sshd.  I believe that is the only way to get the complete
configuration, if you use telnet to bgpd/ospfd/zebra/etc you only get
the configuration for that particular routing protocol.

is it different if the switch is non-stackable or not part of a stack?

Does this fix it?  Does linux not have terminfo/termcap for "dumb"?

Not as I know, only have switches which are not part of a stack.

Yep, this fixes it, thanks!  Should have thought of it myself...

/lib/terminfo/d/dumb does exist on the system though, but perhaps it
isn't considered sufficient for some reason?  The message doesn't
originate from vtysh - I get the exact same message when doing
?TERM=dumb man ls? also, so it is a system library that complains.

Oh well, it works now, so I'm happy.  Thanks again!
