This is because the VLANs should be in your main ('running') 
configuration on these platforms if you're using any recent release and 
"vtp mode transparent" is in your master config along with 
"spanning-tree extend system-id" as opposed to stored solely in vlan.dat 
- that is, if you're using "extended range VLAN support" as cisco call 
it (all 12-bits of 802.1q VLAN ID tag supported).   If you don't have 
this enabled, you should comment out the line of code in subroutine 
ShowVLAN that reads:

        return(1) if ($type =~ /^(3550|4500|7600)$/);

This is a replacement of the existing Riverstone login program (which 
worked poorly at my site and some others on various different expect/OS 
combinations) and may break your logins due to added functionality (we 
handle RADIUS failures and so on now).  So, changes to your .cloginrc 
are required.  Please read the end of the cloginrc example file in the 
distribution for an example of where your initial login pass, enable 
pass (aka last resort) and TAC+/RADIUS username and password goes for 
one of these babies.

For those who tested this code privately, you shall need to make those 
changes - sorry for the wasted electrons.
