[rancid] Nortel Support

[AJ Schroeder]

Hello,

I have copies of the modified scripts here: https://github.com/ajschroeder/rancid/

Like I said, they aren't perfect, but the the 'passlogin' and 'passrancid' scripts backup the ERS 8300 and 8600 switches in our environment. We also have two Avaya 8800 switches here, but this script doesn't work with them at all. As for the 'nortellogin' and 'nortelrancid' scripts, I use those to backup our old Baystacks (460,470, 5510, 5520). The catch is that you need to make sure you have a late enough version of software loaded so you can disable the login banners and menus.

I'll work on getting a README typed up at some point with some of this information.

AJ

Hello list,

Hello,



I finally got the Nortel switches in my environment backing up properly with RANCID.

\o/


I made separate scripts for the baystack and ERS switches in our environment. As I was googling around I know that adding support for these switches has been discussed in the past but I never saw an answer. Would the devs of RANCID be interested in adding support for these Nortel devices?

Don't know about de devs, but I'm really interested  by the work you've done !

I have a lot of ERS switch and backup up is still a problem.

Would you mind posting your scripts on the list ?

Best regards,
Maxime Baudin
