[rancid] Re: CISCO username problem

[Sherrill, Justin]

My guess is that the # symbols in your login banner, along with
autoenable, are confusing Rancid.  It looks for those to indicate a
prompt in enable mode, so it thinks it's already at a prompt when it's
just the banner scrolling in, so it issues commands too early and waits
for them to return.  Try changing your banner to use some other
character for the border.

Subject: [rancid] CISCO username problem

 

Hello all,

I`m new to RANCID and i was just assigned to work on it.

I've read some of the threads but due to my lack of knowledge i would
need an "idiot proof" explanation.

 

Problem is with CISCO CAT switches.

Q1 What is the difference that RANCID needs to know if its a CISCO CAT
IOS or if its a CISCO IOS?

 

When i try to do a clogin SW1 it gets stuck on the username

$ clogin sw1            
sw1
 Tryning with username : password : password : telnet : 3des :  
spawn telnet sw1
Destination sw1 found for customer XYZ.
 
Trying 10.x.x.x...
Connected to 10.x.x.x.
Escape character is '^]'.

Username: 


Username:

 

 

My .cloginrc file looks like:

add password    sw1 password 
add user        sw1 username
add method      sw1 telnet
add autoenable  sw1 1

 

 

When i log manually into my CISCO the prompt look like:

SW1 (enable)

 

Q2. Do i need to change it? If yes then what command should i do on the
CISCO?

Q3. Should i put:

set prompt SW1#

 

Q4. Should autoenable be set to 0 or 1

 

In general i saw multiple threads with various loggin problems on the
CISCO cat switches.

Q5. Is there a permanent fix?

 

Thanks for your help
