[rancid] Rancid WLC - no command after login

[Christopher DeRemer]

Ah ha! I can actually answer a question!

The ciscowlc5 script uses the command show running-config... but for some reason in the 193 code (5.2.193.0) it doesn't like that and outputs some unwanted text:
(Cisco Controller) >show running-config

Notice: "show running-config" has been changed to be an alias to "show run-config".
Use "show run-config commands" to display the configuration commands.
Press Enter to continue or <Ctrl-Z> to abort...

So to fix this I made a separate script which uses a different command table with using the show run-config commands to output the proper commands.

I made one file called ciscowlc151 for the normal command table:
@commandtable = (
        {'show udi'             => 'ShowUdi'},
        {'show sysinfo'         => 'ShowSysinfo'},
        {'show running-config'  => 'ShowConfig'}

And made another file called ciscowlc193 for the 5.2.193.0 code:
@commandtable = (
        {'show udi'             => 'ShowUdi'},
        {'show sysinfo'         => 'ShowSysinfo'},
        {'show running-config'  => 'ShowConfig'}

Then I just added some new rancid-fe device types

>'cisco-wlc193' => 'ciscowlc193',
>'cisco-wlc151' => 'ciscowlc151',

This allows you to have both code versions in the same environment. I have not tested this on any other versions of code but 5.2.151 and 5.2.193 to see if anything else is a problem. I found this by running the rancid in verbose mode so that I saw the error text come up that was causing the timeout.

Martin,

I assume you're using ciscowlc5?  What you're seeing is the timeout when it tries to run one of the variations of show running-config / show running-config all.

Try adding the -d switch and should see where it times out.
