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

Tue Jun 17 21:07:16 UTC 2008

Seth,

I added the "add autoenable 10.10.10.7 0" line but it didn't change how it's behaving.

I have included the terminal output for scrutiny.  After it enables, an additional carriage return is being sent with no command, then it hangs until I manually kill it.

rancid$ /usr/local/rancid/bin/clogin 10.10.10.7
10.10.10.7
spawn telnet 10.10.10.7
Trying 10.10.10.7...
Connected to 10.10.10.7
Escape character is '^]'.

Cisco Systems, Inc. Console

Username: rancid

Password:
sw2> enable

Password:
sw2> (enable)
sw2> (enable)                                               

Anything else I could be missing?

Thanks again!

add autoenable 10.10.10.7 0 

If you are logging in with a privileged user then you don't have to
enable.  But if your clogin gets an unprivileged prompt then you need to
turn off autoenable for the host.

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:
