[rancid] Fortigate 100 or 200

[Matt Goeres]

If they are Fortigate 100’s and 200’s not at least B or C models the devices aren’t even upgradable to 4.0 code I don’t think.

I would but there EOL and just getting a backup incase they go bang. The only problem with upgrading, is that the config is completely different plus it gets wiped and not migrated when you upgrade the fortiOS :-(

(I've only just joined and have been tasked of backing up all network enitities) once upgraded to 3.0, the features used in the fnrancid work perfectly. For now though I have hacked both the fnlogin and fnrancid to get it working. I've changed the command from "show full-configuration" to "get config" in fnrancid, and commented out the disable paging mechanisms but added 15 send "/r" at that point, so when a --press <return> to continue, or q to quit-- is prompted, there's enough returns in the buffer to complete the paging of the config and therefore get a full backup.
