timeout on extreme switches

[Bostjan Fele]

Hi,

Tried to go deeper with clogin. Machine prompts back with "TESTIRNICA-BD:1
#".

$ clogin bd -c "show version"
bd
spawn telnet bd
Trying 10.10.103.150...
Connected to bd.
Escape character is '^]'.

TESTIRNICA-BD:1 #
TESTIRNICA-BD:1 #
Error: TIMEOUT reached


That is already "enabled" prompt in Cisco terms. Here my .cloginrc config
for this device:

# BlackDiamond
add user     bd      nmis
add password bd      nmis
add noenable bd 1

Regards,
Bostjan

most often this is a problem with matching of the prompt.  either
the device "auto enables" or aaa has been used to alter the prompt.

when you login manually, what does the prompt look like?
