[rancid] Using Rancid For Adtran: OptiMX/OptiSMX, Fujitsu: Flashwave4500/7420, & Allied Telesis: CV5000.

[Kemp, Larry]

Rancid Community,



I thought I would open this up to rancid-discuss before opening a tickets with Adtran, Fujitsu and Allied Telesis.



We have the following equipment:



1.    Adtran:

a.    OPTI-MX

b.    OPTI-SMX

c.    TA3000

d.

2.    Fujitsu:

a.    Flashwave 4500

b.    7420

3.    Allied Telesis

a.    CV5000



Each time a user makes any change to the config, each device is set to FTP or TFTP a .BIN file to the FTP/TFTP server we previously setup. I would instead love to be able to use Rancid to go and grab these

"devicename-or-ip-address.BIN" files from these networking devices. I would also like to see the conf diffs reported to us via email same way we currently enjoy seeing for all of our Cisco gear (which always still tickles me).



I have Rancid currently running every 6 hours logging into every Cisco devices we have and would like to use Rancid for everything. This may not even be a possibility but I thought I would toss it out to the group before making inquiries to the manufacturers. Each would love to see you their proprietary element manager and a per-device-licensing scheme I am sure; but there will be none of that. :)



Our Rancid System

Rancid:     2.3.2a2

OS:         Cent OS 5.2

Perl:       5.8.8

Expect:     5.43.0



Thanks in advance if anyone has any experience or better yet success in trying to do this with these specific devices! And thanks for all the great support so far too!!!
