[rancid] Re: Can't poll a cat5 switch. clogin works fine manually

[Victor Breen]

Hi Gareth,

I'd rather not send the entire file, of course.  It contains about 200 user/pass combos for different routers ;>)

I ran "clogin 10.10.10.7" and it definitely failed to work without all of the arguments.  Here are the only lines I'm using now.

add user 10.10.10.7      {rancid}
add password 10.10.10.7  {Masked}      {Masked}
add method 10.10.10.7    telnet

The current behavior using clogin with no extra args is it logs in with the "rancid" username, gets to the unprivileged prompt, it types "enable" and enters the password then it hangs there.  I'm not sure why it's doing that.

Thanks for your help!

Hi, 

What does your .cloginrc file look like? I'd hazard a guess that something is missing in there. 

The following config should work for your device 

add user 10.10.10.7 username 
add password 10.10.10.7 {password} 
add autoenable 10.10.10.7 1 

You can always run clogin 10.10.10.7 (without all the options) to see if your .cloginrc file is being used correctly. 

Cheers, 

Gabba

Hello! 

I am having some pretty aggravating issues getting a Cisco Cat switch working in Rancid. Perhaps I'm missing something dumb? I'm hoping someone out there can hit me with the clue-by-four. 

I am using Rancid 2.3.1 on a FreeBSD box. The "cisco" devices I have set up poll just fine. This is the only cat5 device I'm attempting to poll so I can't say I've ever gotten one to work before. Just the same, clogin seems to work when I run it manually. 

Here's an example of clogin working fine with the cat5 switch. It does complete but I've snipped the output for less noise: 



rancid$ /usr/local/rancid/bin/clogin -autoenable -c "write term" -f 
/home/rancid/.cloginrc -u rancid -p (masked) -t 30 
10.10.10.7 

spawn telnet 10.10.10.7 
Trying 10.10.10.7... 
Connected to 10.10.10.7 . 
Escape character is '^]'.

When I run /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid-run to test the automated method, I see this show up in the log output:
