[rancid] Extreme XOS and rancid-2.3.8

[Mickey Everts]

This is my first try at using rancid, but so far so good.  We have quite a
few Extreme X460-48t switches running ExtremeXOS version 12.5 and above.
Things mostly work, but there is some annoying behavior that appears be
random.

 

Here is an example of the issue:

 

In the "networking router config diffs" email, it looks like this:

 

Index: configs/sw1-hq

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

retrieving revision 1.2

diff -U 4 -r1.2 sw1-hq

@@ -9,8 +9,10 @@

  #Bootrom: 2.0.1.0

  #

  #

  #

+ show configuration

+ #

  # Module devmgr configuration.

  #

 

 

In the next email there would be a similar diff with this instead:

 

- show configuration

- #

 

 

 

And here is a the log.  Note that it's not always the same switches
affected.
