[rancid] Re: Extreme Switches with Unsaved Configs

[Hahues, Sven]

Mr. Heasley,

Thanks for your reply.  The complete prompt upon logging in is this:

=============================================================================================================================

Press the <tab> key at any time for completions.
Remember to save your configuration changes.
* 300e48-0.45-HH-IDF:1 #

The * signifies that the config has changed, and if I save the config Rancid is able to go through and grab the config and diff it without any problems.

Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Regards,

Sven

Whenever the config is not saved on an Extreme switch and I run rancid-run I only get a bunch of errors in the log and no config is retrieved and diffed. (It appears as if the * that gets put in front of the cli prompt causes this, since that seems to be the only difference between a saved and an unsaved config.)

what is the complete prompt?
