Anyhow, tests using "sleep 3" seems to eliminate window size echo, even for clogin to HPs.<br>

Hi Jon,<br>
<br>
Ok, that makes sense. I've tried the following:<br>
<br>
TERM="" hlogin 10.100.20.149<br>
Result: Logged in but can't issue any command and the following displayed in the console: ^[[36;116R<br>
<br>
TERM="" clogin 10.100.20.149<br>
Result: Log in successful but ^[[36;116R is automatically issued to the switch (different to the original string but still stalls<br>
the config grab)<br>
<br>

With bash being my shell, I've just been doing TERM="" before using clogin on aristas. After seeing heasley's response, I did<br>
a little testing, and vt100 seems to work as well. My native TERM was "screen" since I like to use screen, it results in<br>
display similar to what you posted and an "n" spit out as if typed.<br>

Hi Jethro, I've tried the hlogon too. No luck I'm afraid.<br>
<br>
John, this sounds like it could be the solution as the characters do look<br>
like terminal output. Can you explain how I would go about clearing the<br>
TERM environment and if this works, I'm assuming I would have to make a<br>
seperate cron job running clogin with these new parameters just for these<br>
problem switches?<br>
<br>
Thanks again for you help with this.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
<br>
I've got an issue with 3 HP Procurve switches. All are running a recent<br>
firmware version. The problem is that no config is being pulled from 3 HP<br>
switches. in my network, the others give up their config just fine. I've<br>
discovered the reason but I'm unsure of how to fix it.<br>
The issue is caused because rancid is issuing the following command to the<br>
switch after it logs on: ^[[46;148R<br>
<br>
I can see this by running /bin/clogin 10.100.20.149 and seeing that I get<br>
dropped to the following:<br>
<br>
HP_SWITCH_1# ^[[46;148R<br>
HP_SWITCH_1#<br>
<br>
So Rancid is issuing the manager username and password and then issuing<br>
^[[46;148R which the switch doesn't understand, Rancid, having not<br>
received<br>
<br>
<br>
I have similar problems with clogin and arista gear. In this case, it's<br>
solved by clearing the TERM environment variable before running clogin.<br>
