You're not alone. This seems to be an undocumented feature of the ASA series, 
although it only happens when there's been a config change, not spontaneously 
on it's own.

Subject: [rancid]  Tunneling Telnet connections
Message-ID: <000001c96cd7$4edcee40$ec96cac0$@co.uk>

Hi All

 

We manage 2 data centres, and have some switches in the second (unmanned)
data centre that are being backed up from our Rancid box in the primary
(manned) data centre.  What we would like though is some secure way to get
the configs from the remote data centre.  At the moment, rancid logs in with
Telnet, which is obviously unsecure, and could be sniffed to gain our
password.

 

Unfortunately due to these being Cisco 2960's (without the K9 bundle) we
cannot setup SSH to access these remotely, and for the 3 or 4 switches we
have in the remote centre (at the moment) it is not worth setting up another
rancid box for that.

 

I would like to know the best way to secure this, either maybe through an
SSH tunnel to a machine in the remote data centre or any other ideas anyone
has?

You could set up an OpenVPN tunnel, which I'm sure you'd find useful for other 
things too.

An SSH tunnel would do it, but I'd imagine you have a firewall at each  
location. If both of these devices support IPSec VPNs, you could also  
setup a LAN to LAN VPN between sites.

You might be able to SSH to a router in your remote data centre,
then Telnet from there. So at least the hop across the Internet is SSH.

Can't recall if this is a feature in RANCID or a patch previously
given on this list though, sorry, but it sounds familar.

oliver.

That is really too bad.  At least I have a platform where it flakes out
reliably enough that debugging would probably be worthwhile.  I can try
pulling the clogin and hlogin from the bleeding edge version of Rancid to
see if that helps.

Hi Guys

An update to my predicament.  This is all sorted.  A colleague of mine suggested this method minutes before you Daniel.  Once I had this idea, it was a simple case of re-setting the routers up to use the tunnel.

Fortunately, I have a wrapper script for rancid, so that made things even easier for me, but all I did was the following:

Add a new ssh line for each router to the top of my wrapper script such as:

ssh -L 2024:<router_ip>:23 <user>@<bounce_host> -Nf

where <bounce_host> is the host that we are using in the remote location so that at least the part over the internet is done via ssh (The remote location is secured with VLAN?s etc, so that is not a problem).

Then I edited my .cloginrc to set each router up as:

add method <router> {telnet:2024}

and also I added to /etc/hosts a line:

127.0.0.1 <router>

With both the .cloginrc, and /etc/hosts file, this meant that the router?s name can still be the name of the router, but will use the SSH tunnel.  Finally, editing the telnet access list on the switch, allowed this to all work.

Many thanks for the suggestions, and fortunately, I didn?t need help setting the SSH tunnel method up :D

Hello,

I have just set up rancid for the first time and I am having problems
getting it to successfully pull configs from a Foundry device over SSH.
This same device works properly over telnet but I get the following when
switching to SSH.

starting: Mon Jan 5 12:22:23 CST 2009


Trying to get all of the configs.
x.x.x.x: missed cmd(s): show chassis,show module,show flash,write term
x.x.x.x: End of run not found

Running bin/flogin x.x.x.x works just fine and I'm able to run commands,
but when run from the script it simply doesn't work. The device is an
MLX running 3.9.00a code.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

David,

I have attached the two scripts that I use to backup our 6850's.

Also, add the line below to rancid-fe

elsif ($vendor =~ /^alcatel$/i)         { exec('orancid', $router); }


The attached scripts are slight settings modifications of scripts published
by Alexander Bochmann (who deserves all the credit).

I have also CC'd the discussion board since I have had other requests for
this information.

Let me know whether they work for you.

Subject: [rancid]  missed cmd(s): write term
Message-ID: <200901052110.57322.barryo@inex.ie>


Folks,

I'm getting the above error for one of our routers which worked previously. It 
is most likely due to an IOS upgrade.

However, I see from the archives that this question is asked a lot but no one 
seems to have an answer and I imagine it affects a lot of IOS versions based 
on this.

When running: 

	rancid -d router.domain.ie

with:

        setenv NOPIPE YES

I can see that the issue is because the 'write term' is not echoed to screen:

router#show running-config
Building configuration...

Current configuration : 32864 bytes
...
ntp server 10.2.2.3
!
end

router#Building configuration...

Current configuration : 32864 bytes
...


and as such, rancid does not think the command executed. 

Now, I can do a local hack to work around this but I'd prefer a more 
universally acceptable and useful solution. 

I guess my question is does anyone have one or does anyone have an ideas?


Thanks,
Barry

Team,

I am using cssrancid of following version.

I can successfully login to the css with clogin command and run both of

The cssrancid has term length settings of 65535 but I changed it to

pointers?

Below is debug output. BTW, I set my TERM variable manually to ensure 
that's not the issue here.

given that output/last line, I presume that something caused clogin to 
send the write term command before the actual prompt appeared.  This
is what causes rancid to not see it.  I believe this problem has since
been fixed, so either you have an older version of clogin or one that
has been hacked.

I'm afraid not. I'm running the latest version (2.3.1) and a diff of my clogin 
against a fresh download matches exactly.

When there are unsaved config changes on the CSS it asks "do you want to 
save the config" or something like that, and Rancid doesn't catch that.
Therefore: try logging in manually and see what the CSS does on logout.

it looks for "(Profile|Configuration) changes have occurred.*" at logout.
if cisco has made another gratuitous change, what is the new prompt?

OK, I've added that.

Would adding this to the vendortable section do the same thing?:

    'alcatel'           => 'orancid',

orancid runs, but I think it executes "show configuration status"
instead of "show configuration snapshot all".

All I get for a device config is the following:

!RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE: alcatel
!
!Cfg: Running configuration and saved configuration are identical
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!
!! Stack Manager :

That's it, all 137 bytes of it. That looks like the output from "show
configuration status" rather than the device config.

How to tweak orancid so that it uses "show configuration snapshot all"?

thanks again

David,

Apparently, you are using one of the alpha versions of RANCID. Rancid-fe has
changed in the alpha versions. So, yes add "'alcatel'           =>
'orancid'," instead of the line I gave you to rancid-fe.

Also, indeed you are seeing the output for "show configuration status";
however, you should also see the output of more commands including "show
configuration snapshot all". The script seems to be stopping for some
reason. It may may due to a change in the alpha version of RANCID. I am
using the current version 2.3.1

Try running the following debug command from the directory 'orancid' is
located. 

env NOPIPE=y orancid -d <device name or IP address>

This will produce devicename.raw and and devicename.new files in the 
current directory. The .raw file will have more output to examine for
errors.

Kevin

Yes. This is on 2.3.2a7, which is from the rancid-devel port on FreeBSD.

orancid and ologin are in /usr/local/libexec/rancid, which the rancid
user does not have write access to.

Instead I ran this from the rancid user's home directory (on this box
it's /usr/local/etc/rancid). (Also, I needed to add
/usr/local/libexec/rancid to the rancid user's path, which I've done
permanently.)

The output of the .new file looks like the "show configuration status,"
as before. The output of the .raw file has all the output from all
commands, including the switch config.

So, unclear why rancid-run isn't picking up the config when manually
running orancid does.

I have not posted any log output because everything looks "normal" but
if there's any other info I can provide for debugging please let me know.

thanks again

You are right, Rancid should catch this. The prompt of our last remaining 
CSS on logout with unsaved changes is exactly:
"Configuration changes have occurred.  Save changes before exiting, 
[y/n/q]:"

Tried it out now with "exp_internal" debugging,

expect: does "Configuration changes have occurred.  Save changes before 
exiting, [y/n/q]:" (spawn_id exp4) match regular expression
"^[^\n\r *]*EPP-CSS-01([^#>\r\n]+)?[#>](\([^)\r\n]+\))?"? no
"Do you wish to save your configuration changes"? no
"[\n\r]+"? no
expect: timed out

Clogin still expects the prompt, so something seems amiss here.

But probably not worth much worry, since CSSs are somewhat legacy 
equipemnt, aren't they?

Since I happen to write to the Rancid creator: BIG thank you, we use 
Rancid big time, thousands of devices, best thing in configuration 
management ever.

it looks for "(Profile|Configuration) changes have occurred.*" at logout.
if cisco has made another gratuitous change, what is the new prompt?

David,

If the .raw file is complete, but the .new file is not; apparently part of
the needed output is getting erased when the .new file is created. It may be
due to a difference in the alpha version of RANCID.

You can try using the attached version of orancid that will only execute '
show configuration snapshot all' to see if it works. It won't give you the
extra convenient information, but it will eliminate some commands to see if
it makes a difference.

Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable on the .new file creation vs .raw file
process will add some input.


Kevin

Thanks, Kevin. "rancid-run" produced an even more truncated version of
the config file (pasted below).

Running "env NOPIPE=y orancid -d 1.2.3.4" again produced a complete
config file in the .raw file, and truncated output in the .new file
(similar to that from rancid-run).

Moving from 2.3.2a7 (from FreeBSD ports) to 2.3.2a9 might be worth
trying but I have two concerns about that:

1. I don't know which version of 2.3.2 Alexander used to produce his
scripts, so it might not make a difference; and

2. I also don't know whether installing from source would use the same
file locations as the FreeBSD port. Presumably there are compile-time
options to set this, but I haven't looked yet.

Thanks in advance for any suggested next steps.

Message-ID: <b43f608a0901121314x1b6a578bsab0b9e931add98c4@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

Well I've had rancid working on my Cisco stuff quite nicely for a while.
I've decided to screw up whats working and see if I can get my McData 4500
to import into rancid as well.  I've looked on the list and poked around in
rancid but I don't see an interface file that appears that it will work with
the 4500.  I was wondering if anybody has gotten it to work by either
rolling your own script you might be willing to share or point me to what
I'm overlooking in what I already have.  I'm running rancid 2.3.2a7 on
debian etch.

Thanks for your help,

James

Sorry, I've not been monitoring the list recently.

orancid runs several commands to collect some more
information than just the config.

that produce commented output for some reason. 
I fear I don't have a 6850 to test it though.

Could you try running

ologin -c"show configuration snapshot" <switch address>

to see if that part works at all?

Alex.

Yes, that logs in via ssh, sets "no more" and then returns the entire
config.

Hmmm... Perhaps one of the other commands that are run is 
the problem then.

Maybe try to edit orancid and comment out everything besides 
the {'show configuration snapshot all'      => 'ShowConfig'},
line in @commandtable.

If that works, you could single out the command that breaks 
on your switch by commenting the other commands back in one 
by one (warning: all the cisco stuff is still in there too, 
so don't get that mixed up).

I cleaned up the orancid code somewhat a couple of weeks ago, 
should probably repost that version.

Alex.

Kevin Turner also suggested that, and that's actually what my orancid
looks like at the moment: The only line in commandtable *not* commented
out is the one with 'show configuration snapshot all'.

Sure, I'd be glad to try the latest version.

Also, I'm on 2.3.2a7 from FreeBSD-ports. Any chance the OmniSwitch stuff
requires 2.3.2a8 or a9? I tend to think not, since Kevin Turner is using
2.3.1, but just asking.

Thanks again.

Dear All,

      Did anybody already write a post-processing script to extract 

inventory only (CPU, memory, interfaces wit their serials) from rancid

Subject: [rancid]  clogin bug in $prompt matching, does not work well IOS XR
Message-ID: <20090120173300.GB86212@spritelink.se>

Hello!

I have found what I believe is a bug in clogin.

When using clogin to automatically send commands
and retrieve its output from an IOS XR device the
prompt is not correctly parsed.

When clogin first logs in, it sends a simple
carriage return (\n) to the router to be able to
determine the prompt. Here's an strace of that..

recvfrom(3, "RP/0/RP1/CPU0:AMS-CORE-1#", 6938, 0, NULL, NULL) = 25
write(1, "RP/0/RP1/CPU0:AMS-CORE-1#", 25) = 25
read(0, "\r", 8177)                     = 1
sendto(3, "\r\0", 2, 0, NULL, 0)        = 2
recvfrom(3, "\r\n\rRP/0/RP1/CPU0:AMS-CORE-1#", 6913, 0, NULL, NULL) = 28
write(1, "\r\n\rRP/0/RP1/CPU0:AMS-CORE-1#", 28) = 28

So far, everything is fine and dandy. The router
is obviously called ams-core-1 and it has the 
prompt RP/0/RP1/CPU0:AMS-CORE-1# which clogin
correctly identifies.
Here comes the next part, clogin sends 'terminal
length 0'...

read(0, "terminal length 0\r", 8176)    = 18
sendto(3, "terminal length 0\r\0", 19, 0, NULL, 0) = 19
recvfrom(3, "terminal\rRP/0/RP1/CPU0:AMS-CORE-1#terminal length\rRP/0/RP1/CPU0:AMS-CORE-1#terminal length 0\r\n\r", 6885, 0, NULL, NULL) = 95

So it reads 'terminal length 0' from clogin, sends
it to the CRS and then receives the output.

Now, IOS XR does one thing a tad differently than
IOS, it has command completion on the space key
as well as on the tab key. My guess is that this 
mechanism forces the IOS XR CLI to redraw the line
each and every time a space is entered. 
If we examine the recvfrom line

recvfrom(3, "terminal\rRP/0/RP1/CPU0:AMS-CORE-1#terminal length\rRP/0/RP1/CPU0:AMS-CORE-1#terminal length 0\r\n\r", 6885, 0, NULL, NULL) = 95

we see that "terminal" is first echoed back to
the client. Then, as a space was entered, IOS XR
does a carriage return and redraws the entire line
starting with the prompt and filling up with 
"terminal length" and the same thing over again to
"terminal length 0".

As clogin merely looks for $prompt which is 
'RP/0/RP1/CPU0:AMS-CORE-1#', it will get a match 
several times over and is thus unable to interpret
the situation correctly.

I've tried modifying clogin in several ways
 - adding \n to prompt or several of the places 
where $prompt is used and so forth but so far 
without much luck. My TCL-fu is not strong enough.

Could some TCL guru have a look at this? I could
probably arrange access to an IOS XR device for 
testing.

Oh, I'm running clogin version 2.3.2a9

Kind regards,
   Kristian.

Have you tried adding something like the following to you .cloginrc?

add userprompt AMS-CORE-1 "RP/0/RP1/CPU0:AMS-CORE-1"

This looks just like the prompt on the router,
which clogin already detects correctly.
Anyway, I just tried now adding it to my .cloginrc
and I'm running into the same problem.

The problem is _not_ with how clogin identifies
the prompt, it does this correctly so the value
stored in $prompt is correct.

The problem is when clogin matches $prompt towards
the lines received thereafter. Due to the way IOS
XR behaves the $prompt variable could appear
several times though not a complete line (with a
new line at the end) and this confuses clogin.

Please look at the strace output and you will see
how you receive parts of the line several times
before it is finally sent with an ending \n. That
is where the problem lies. Or so I believe ;-)

Kind regards,
  Kristian.

Message-ID: <E6F5A60B5AA1FE4CA9FA2286F6095A70F32A9F7C@FGCU-TIGER.primary.ad.fgcu.edu>

Hi everyone,

I'm running rancid-2.3.2a9 and I'm having a problem with our Extreme switches.  Whenever the config is not saved on an Extreme switch and I run rancid-run I only get a bunch of errors in the log and no config is retrieved and diffed. (It appears as if the * that gets put in front of the cli prompt causes this, since that seems to be the only difference between a saved and an unsaved config.)

I searched through this archive and found a patch for 2.3.2a6 by Tore Anderson (thank you for this) (link: http://www.shrubbery.net/pipermail/rancid-discuss/2007-May/002218.html) but even reverting back to the older version and patching it, I still encountered the same problem.

I am just wondering if anyone has a solution for this, for either 2a9 or 2a6.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The output is as follows:

I've noticed that RANCID keeps seeing new passwords on our L2TP configs.
Anyone got an idea why?

Message-ID: <1232980723.22826.12.camel@zen>

I've looked around for this, and can't find any solutions, so I figured
I'd just ask the experts.

I have a variety of boxes that are running SSH on non-standard ports.
Is there a way to have rancid respect alternate ports on a case by case
basis?

I tried the ~.ssh/config trick, but clogin does not appear to be
respecting it for some reason.

Huh.  Apparently the braces were the important missing bit!  Thanks!

The .ssh/config trick was just trying to use OpenSSH's internal config
ruleset to define the port:

Host somebox.domain.net
        Hostname somebox.domain.net
        Port 5555

Which works from the command line, but not when invoked by clogin.

Anyway, sorted.  Thanks for the assist.

If you don't tell us what the 'trick' was, we won't know if we're telling you 
the same thing ;)

The following works for me:


add method      host1.domain.ie {ssh:-2222}

Subject: [rancid]  Pinning Moving Config Lines
Message-ID: <497EDF66.8070100@redhat.com>

Hello guys,

is there an easy way to assign a fixed position to config lines that
move around during two invocations of "write term"?

In the Cisco SAN-OS devices the "callhome" config line moves between the
front and end of the "fcalias name" sections producing bogus change reports.

The solutions I see on a quick glance (none satisfactory):
- The absolute easiest way would be to just drop the line but for this
  config line it doesn't seem like a wise idea.
- In the WriteTerm function create a separate ProcessHistory
  "fcalias name" section with sorting and add "callhome" to that section
  too. Drawback is that I would have to parse the "fcalias name"
  sections correctly too.

Does anybody know a nicer way to pin the moving config line down?

thanks
bye
	michael

We'd normally just sort it.

I am a new user and really like rancid so far.  Many thanks.

Anyway, I have looked and can't seem to find this.  How does rancid get the cisco config?  I know logging into a cisco switch I can run '#sh run'  and I will get the config.  In an example I looked at for setting it up, the test it had me run was to use the 'write term' command.  I am not the cisco person here (not even close) but I have been told write term is an IOS command and while it works, it will not work in future updates.  I am using debian etch and rancid 2.3.1-4.

Thanks in advance.

Whenever the config is not saved on an Extreme switch and I run rancid-run I only get a bunch of errors in the log and no config is retrieved and diffed.

Since Vyatta is really a Debian box, we just do an rsync of /opt/vyatta
and /etc.  But I guess you could also do a write a script to do a show
configuration and a handful of other things if you wanted to.

I'm getting an error when running rancid-run, I've pasted it below.  It
appears that the config is copied from the device into the repository,
but no diffs are generated or emailed.  Any help would be appreciated,
I'm pretty sure it's a Solaris9 issue.

i really dislike ciscos for stuff like this.

try adding a match for it like
/^callhome/ &&
ProcessHistory("COMMENTS","keysort","Z0","$_") && next;

I'm guessing Solaris' awk doesn't like something and installing gawk might help.

Disclaimer:  The above statement is just a WAG.

I am able to backup ASA config but the config changes on every rancid-run.
The only change is the timestamp when the config was written on the
rancid-run.  Is there a way to prevent this behavior?

Hi list,

for what reason is Rancid doing the
same diffs over and over even when
the hosts in question have been dis-
abled in the router.db?

- - 1.2.0.1:juniper:up
- - 1.2.0.3:juniper:up
+ 1.2.0.1:juniper:down
+ 1.2.0.3:juniper:down

Still, I'm getting identical diffs
every hour.

Any clue?

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,

Which rancid version are you using? I have submitted patches to fix the
problem and those were accepted (in a modified) form upstream. I use
rancid-2.3.2a8 and the only CatOS specific patch I have is to kill the
bogus "set portcost" config lines.

> clogin works just fine but rancid-run spits out error timeout reached
Btw. what device type are you using for the CatOS devices: "cisco" or
"cat5"? "cat5" is the correct type.

Yes, I am using cat5 as the device type.  I can run clogin and it works
fine.  rancid-run produces the following log.

missed cmd(s): write term all,show port ifindex,show module,dir
sup-microcode:,dir sup-bootflash:,dir bootflash:,dir slot0:,show
version,show flash,show running-config,write term,show boot,dir slot1:,show

Interesting. I am backing up several ASAs and don't see this. What release are 
you running? Most of mine are on 8.x.

I'm running 7.2(4) and I don't see this behavior either.

Correction.  Occasionally I see this behavior.

I have an email from Rancid as of 53 minutes ago with this change.

I'm currently running 2.3.2a8 against 7.2(4).

Can this be avoided by setting something in the rancid.conf?  I just added 2
more ASA's and they exhibit the same behavior.

I'm still on a8 and it works there. It was fixed in a5 or a6 time frame
when the two patches went in. I might upgrade to a9 but I'm pretty busy
at the moment and don't have time for that.

Most likely it can not commit the changes to CVS/SVN, so it sees it
as new changes everytime, see the FAQ:

Message-ID: <435CB3214F92FD4E8E5CEEB86A20440240D102EA2A@MAILBOX.tbcnet.biltmore.com>

I am currently trying to setup rancid to backup my cisco configs and running into a problem.  I am not the cisco person here so I can't vouch for this setup.  We are slooooowly migrating to acs and have some routers on acs and some not.  I can grab the routers configs that are on acs with no problem, the others I can get the configs.    I have been trying to narrow down and figure out what the problem is and when I test clogin and login to the problem routers I get logged in and get a double prompt.  I am assuming from what I have read that means it enabled and I can now type what I need, but that's not the case.  Commands do not work at this point, BUT, after logging in with clogin if I do #en and give the password I can then run #sh run.  I 'think' I may know why but need to confirm this.  On the problem routers the motd is surrounded by # symbols and I saw something in the mailing list that said that could confuse rancid since it expects a # to enable.  The routers that just happen to be on the acs also do not have #'s in the motd.

So am I on the right track in thinking my network admin borked this up trying to be fancy with the motd?  Or could my problem lie elsewhere?

Thanks for your help.
