does 'dir nvram: /all' produce that message?  I can not imagine why it
might.  or why it would be sending dns requests to that address.  maybe
try running the commands that rancid does (rancid -t cisco -C) to see
where that error appears in the output.

It's always the same line.  

I have other firewalls too that don't do this.  Just these 3...

Subject: [rancid] hlogin works, clogin fails: Why is clogin running?
Message-ID: <CAEE+rGqhyuBNPCOGDvpL2+-y0uGQ=UU8Dsw3REA5vOqQvRvevQ@mail.gmail.com>

I have a handful of Procurve switches that need to be backed up.

My router.db looks like this:

usancddswt01;hp;up
usancssswt01;hp;up
uscmdprswt01;hp;up
useugofswt01;hp;up
usggzsdswt01;hp;up
ushqzofswt01;hp;up
uslog00swt01;hp;up
usloginswt01;hp;up
uslogofswt01;hp;up
...etc...snip...

I can run:
hlogin -c "show run" usancddswt01

...and it connects, logs in, executes 'show run', and logs off...perfect.

When I run rancid-run however, it seems to be running clogin instead of hlogin.

Am I correct in thinking that hlogin should be running because
router.db lists the switch type as 'hp'?

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

-A

The separator characters in router.db should be ':' not ';' ... ?

Ah, well I've not got to that version yet: at least my comment wasn't
entirely wasted, because *I've* learned something even if I wasn't
helpful ;-)

I've seen this question pass through this list a couple times, but I wasn't paying attention.

I have this output from our f5 that rancid sees and is checking in the changes.  The monitor state up and down is usually alternating (QA environment), so I'd like to ignore that line:

I should add, that I did modify f5rancid a while back based on a suggestion from this list, but that doesn't seem to be working:

heasley gave the exact patch you need lower donw in the thread, but
I'll explain the general process, you need some basic understanding of
perl. This is for 2.3, I haven't gotten around to using 3.x yet, I
beleive the latest version is quite similar in this respect:

You have to edit the script that does the actual parsing of the output
from the device, and tell it there what to ignore.

In the case of Cisco IOS devices, that script is "rancid", for your
F5's it will be "f5rancid". In any event, look in rancid_fe to find
which script is called for which device type in router.db

Inside that script, you will usually find an array
"@command_table" [1], this maps commands run on the device to
subroutines in the script that deal with that command.

Now edit that subroutine to throw away the lines you are not interested
in. Taking heasley's example:

	/^\s+monitor state (\S+)/ && next;

which means "if this line matches the regex, then skip it and go onto
the next one".

If you need something slightly more complex (eg the stuff you want to
ignore is the first line plus a bunch more), then you must write
slightly more complex perl. But it's all very easy and obvious and the
code has hundreds of examples you can follow.


[1] not all parser scripts do it this way, the author is free to wite
their code any way they feel like. "rancid" is the original and first,
so most new parsers follow the same template. If you are using a parser
that doesn't, then you must read the code and figure it out.

Subject: [rancid] Issue with nx-os after switch upgrades
Message-ID: <6946EE17AE19494A97197FE4C50A7BE1687A5E53@CMEXMB1.ad.emulex.com>

I have a set of MDS switches that yesterday were upgraded from SAN-OS 3.3 to NX-OS 5.2 and now the nxrancid script is failing with an "end of run not found" error message as shown below:

	ibmbc1-fc2: missed cmd(s): show running-config
	ibmbc1-fc2: missed cmd(s): show running-config
	ibmbc1-fc2: End of run not found
	ibmbc1-fc2: End of run not found
	ibmbc1-fc2: clean: 0, end: 0
	!PROC_LOGS:                                   ^

Any recommendations or advise on how to fix this?  I have another 10 or so switches to go this weekend and don't want to lose backups on these.  Currently running version 2.3.8 of rancid and using the stock nxrancid script.

Thanks,
John

John,

There's no generic catch-all process or fix for this situation, and the
printed output is essentialy useless. All it says is "something went
wrong" but we already know that. Essentially, nxrancid can't make
complete sense of the output and it's not finding where various parts
(individual commands or perhaps everything) begin and end. We need more
information:

nxrancid -d <device>

where <device> is the name in router.db - this will at least show what
commands, if any, are being recognised. Then we will need to dig deeper
and find out why.

Then, one of the first things printed with -d is the full clogin
command used by nxrancid. Run that, deleting out all the commands
except show running-config and see what's going on.

In my experience, I've found things like this:

- Incorrect end-of-line characters at the end of a command output
- No blank line adter the end of a command output when the parser
  expects one
- Prompt redefined to something nxrancid can't parse
- Odd characters in the login banner (including the notorious " and >)

Alan

I had a similar problem with nxrancid. I ended up modifying the script in
the ShowVersion sub to return(1) for Invalid input detected rather than -1.

The issue is that some of the commands will only show up with certain
hardware ("show vdc all" doesn't work on anything other than a Nexus
7000/7700) or unless certain features have been enabled ("show fex" only
works when "feature fex" has been enabled). It's a hack, but I thought that
it was the easiest solution without creating a command list for every
variable of hardware/configuration.

That fixed, but only after I also commented out several of the ?show vdc? commands in the command-table which didn?t apply to either our Nexus 5K?s or our MDS switches.  Just in case we might have VDC?s in the future, I ended up doing this on a copy of the current nxrancid script named nx56-mds-rancid and then added that as a type called cisco-nx56-mds in the rancid-fe file.

Thanks, everything seems to be working now!

+1 to this

I recall now doing this for the Nexuses I had back in the day. Solved
many problems just like for John.

I never could understand why Invalid Command would be a fatal error -
if the device can't do it, the script should just move past it and deal
with the output it *can* handle.

What happens when you run nxrancid -d <device>?

Now you mention it, I have done likewise for the comware stuff.  In fact I 
actually abstracted into subroutines to minimise repetition.  Now my 
command processing subs all look something like this near the start:

   while (<$INPUT>) {
        tr/\015//d;
        last if(/^\s*$prompt/);
        chomp;
        $_ = filter_lines($_);

        return(1) if command_not_valid($_);
        return(-1) if command_not_auth($_);
        next if skip_pattern($_);

and then I have:

# Some commands are not supported on some models or versions
# of code.
# Remove the associated error messages, and rancid will ensure that
# these are not treated as "missed" commands
sub command_not_valid {
    my ($l) = (@_);

    if ( $l =~
        /% Too many parameters found at '\^' position/ ||
        /% Unrecognized command found at '\^' position/ ||
        /% Incomplete command found at '\^' position./ ||
        /(% )?Wrong parameter found at '\^' position/ ||
        /% Wrong device .+/
    ) {
        return(1);
    } else {
        return(0);
    }
}

# Some commands are not authorized under the current
# user's permissions
sub command_not_auth {
    my ($l) = (@_);

    if ( $l =~
        /Permission denied\./
    ) {
        return(1);
    } else {
        return(0);
    }
}

# Some output lines are always skipped
sub skip_pattern {
    my ($l) = (@_);

    if ( $l =~
        /^\s+\^$/
    ) {
        return(1);
    } else {
        return(0);
    }
}

because sometimes the command *should* exist.  its has caught o/s bugs in
the past.  if it may exist, then we return 1 when it is missing.

I encourage upgrading to 3.x, and i'll consider 3.2 production after I
attend to 3 outstanding issues/requests.  3.x makes it easier to make
localizations such as this and still be easy to make future upgrades.

you would copy the definition for a device type to a new name, create a
new module to handle your localization, and configure your new device
type to use it.  eg rancid.types.conf:

	crisco;script;rancid -t crisco
	crisco;login;clogin
	crisco;module;ios
	crisco;module;ios_local
	crisco;inloop;ios::inloop
	crisco;command;ios::ShowVersion;show version
	# skipit crisco;command;ios::ShowRedundancy;show redundancy secondary
	crisco;command;ios_local::ShowIDprom;show idprom backplane
	crisco;command;ios::ShowInstallActive;show install active
		....

i believe the type configs could be more featureful and i've left some
comment about that in the manpage, but its handy for this need.

Hello all,
     I'm trying to integrate 2 Cisco 2504s running 7.6.120.0 with RANCID in order to complete backups.  I have seen on the forums that this has been done successfully, but have been unable to find a copy of a script.  If anyone has integrated with this platform, would you be able to provide a copy of the script that you are using?  Thanks!

I think he's probably referring to the Wireless LAN Controller and not the router.

ah.  I dont know this platform; we put effort into the WLC code for rancid 3.2.
try it and report.  Another user just offered access to a 7.4 box for testing,
but i havent done that yet; i'm not in the office.

Apologies for the confusion.  These are the WLCs.  Thanks Antonio.
Heas, I'm running RANCID 3.1 right now.  3.2 has support for the WLC's?  Thanks!

Yes, I imported one of the versions floating (sorry dont recall which exactly)
and with Daniel Schmidt's help cleaned it up a bit to make it more reliable.

3.2 is still alpha, but i think the issues will be unnoticed.

Thanks Heasley.  Would I be able to bring the device types into version 3.1?  This is a production box at work, so I need to be sure it's stable.  Sould be able to test 3.2 on another box though.  Thanks!

Subject: [rancid] hlogin works, clogin fails: why is clogin running?
Message-ID: <5d3f22dc-8e2a-4bd9-bcb4-35e7b2d1a9fc@googlegroups.com>

I have a handful of Procurve switches that need to be backed up.

My router.db looks like this:

usancddswt01;hp;up
usancssswt01;hp;up
uscmdprswt01;hp;up
useugofswt01;hp;up
usggzsdswt01;hp;up
ushqzofswt01;hp;up
uslog00swt01;hp;up
usloginswt01;hp;up
uslogofswt01;hp;up
...etc...snip...

I can run:
/usr/local/libexec/rancid/hlogin -c "show run" usancddswt01

...and it connects, logs in, executes 'show run', and logs off...perfect.

When I run rancid-run however, it seems to be running clogin instead of 
hlogin.

Am I correct in thinking that hlogin should be running because
router.db lists the switch type as 'hp'?

Am I missing something?

Thanks,

-A

Thanks Heasley!  I went ahead and updated the work server to 3.1.99 and the 2504s are integrated.  Not seeing any issues here.

Message-ID: <BLU185-W197092F8E2FC0411A92533F21C0@phx.gbl>

Hello All,
     I am in the process of adding the Aruba module to RANCID 3.1.99 and modifying one for Aerohive and just wanted to verify, I have read in the forums that the step needed for 3.1.0 are:
Place in  /usr/local/rancid/bin save as whatever name
Add module to /usr/local/rancid/etc/rancid.types.conf, i.e. ciscowlc;login;ciscowlc5  ---> add command line options here as well
Update /usr/local/rancid/var/networking/router.db  --> wlchost;ciscowlc;up
(cisco being an example, will update the names)
I just wanted to verify that the same still holds true for 3.1.99.
Thanks!

Thanks Heasley.  Aruba's working great.  Had to save in */lib/rancid/aerohive.pm as it's a module.  Will work on Aerohive module and post back.

Hello,

On Rancid version 3.1, Im still receiving lot of diff related to Switch Fabric Module time for Brocade switches. To fix this noisy problem, I?ve removed the line break space to make it work as follow (line 124 of the foundry.pm file in my case).

        last if (/^$prompt/);

        next if (/^(The system |Crash time)/);

Hello,

On Rancid version 3.1, I?m still receiving lot of diff related to the following:

 !   800 MHz ARM processor ARMv5TE, 400 MHz bus
 ! 65536 KB flash memory
 !   512 MB DRAM
- ! STACKID 1  system uptime is 46 days 16 hours 20 minutes 22 seconds

 ! The system : started=warm start	 reloaded=by "reload"
 !
 ! System Monitoring (Sysmon) is: enabled
 ! Sysmon timer = 3 minutes

On the foundry.pm file, there is a code line related to this to make it hide but seem to me that it doesn?t work!

        # remove uptime on newer switches
        s/(STACKID \d+)\s+system uptime is.*$/$1/;

Odd, it works OK for me, I get:

!MGMT:  800 MHz Power PC processor 8544E (version 0021/0022) 400 MHz bus
!MGMT:65536 KB flash memory
!MGMT:  256 MB DRAM
!STACKID 1
!STACKID 2
!My stack unit ID = 1, bootup role = active

You aren't getting the MGMT: prefix either.  Are you sure these are 
correctly declared as type foundry in router.db?

Jethro.

I have installed rancid 3.1 and have it working on a Ubuntu install.  It works and collects diffs and shows them in the repository and i have the cvs web working, but i cannot get it to e-mail me the diffs and am getting an error in the var/logs only when there are diffs.  it errors on the control_rancid portion of it i can send mail through postfix with both the sendmail and mail command.  I installed postfix after sendmail fail as i thought it was my problem.  Below is the log of both and the control_rancid, and yes i am a newbie

I had the same problem after building rancid on a machine that didn't have sendmail installed.  Install sendmail and edit control_rancid to change all the

  no -t $MAILOPTS

to

  sendmail -t $MAILOPTS


Regards,

Lee

Seem good to not being spammed by email with those diff but will still make them being pushed to CVS, so I?ll have lot of rev version for nothing.
Will try with latest 3.1.99 version of Rancid as suggested previously to see if this new one will fix it.

I had the same problem after building rancid on a machine that didn't have sendmail installed.  Install sendmail and edit control_rancid to change all the

  no -t $MAILOPTS

to

  sendmail -t $MAILOPTS

Message-ID: <1426091100058.53905@ena.com>

I have Rancid 3.1 working with Postfix:

1. This removes the need to setup an alias in /etc/aliases for every single group

    Postfix - /etc/postfix/main.cf

        luser_relay = my.email at example.com

        mydomain = [valid DNS domain]

        myorigin = $mydomain

        relayhost = [valid internal mail relay if you have one]

2. Rancid config:

    etc/rancid.conf

        SENDMAIL="/bin/true"

        #MAILOPTS="-f ..."; export MAILOPTS        <- all variables starting with MAIL are commented out

?I get the diff reports and the config fetcher reports with the above configuration.

Dave

You don't have a program called "-t" so yes, it's going to complain about " -t: not found"

I have no idea how postfix works -- maybe piping the output of all those echo commands to

  postfix -t $MAILOPTS

will send you mail, in which case you need to change all the

  )| -t $MAILOPTS

lines to

  )| postfix -t $MAILOPTS

Subject: [rancid] official Git support
Message-ID: <CAMNMeQ4oiLaOLMSchFH9TrNWunOSCL16Vkii+rvRU6X7Wz6i5w@mail.gmail.com>

Hello!

How is official Git support coming along? Is there anything I can do to
help?

I've read through the list archives and Heasley mentioned that he was
testing the git patch back in June 2014 (just after the 3.1 release), but I
can't find any updates since then.

Tangentially, I'd love to see (and contribute to) rancid on github.

Thank you!
Loren

Thanks Lee,
     You're exactly right.  I changed all of the 
 )| -t $MAILOPTSlines to  )| sendmail -t $MAILOPTS
and mail is being sent.  Just need to get my aliases straightened out so that they get sent to the right email address.  Thanks!

You don't have a program called "-t" so yes, it's going to complain about " -t: not found"



I have no idea how postfix works -- maybe piping the output of all those echo commands to

  postfix -t $MAILOPTS

will send you mail, in which case you need to change all the

  )| -t $MAILOPTS

lines to

  )| postfix -t $MAILOPTS





Regards,

Lee

I'm not certain why this error occurs; it occurs with git 1.7, but not git
2.3.  Is it reasonable to just upgrade your installation of git?

?The default push mode did change in git 2.0.0 (
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.0.0.txt#L7-L23).
Before 2.0.0 it was "matching" but from 2.0.0 it's "simple". The error
occurs when using a git version less than 1.7.11 (when "simple" where
introduced, see
https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.11.txt#L9-L14).
?

To fix that a compatible mode must be used, like "current" (or "matching").
This can be set by running "git config push.default <mode>" or manually
editing the repository git config file (please don't set this globally).

For more information of the available modes (and what they do), search for
"push.default" in http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config.

Hello all,
     Well, I tried everything I could find on the interwebs and here in the forums (thanks for the tips and suggestions), but had to modify  control_rancid to get the alerts to go to my email.  I don't think this has anything to do with RANCID.  It sent the alerts to postfix like a champ with the group names that I have set up like the script was telling it to.  Pretty sure this is a postfix issue.  Anyways, hope this helps if anybody runs into the same.  Thanks all.

Hi.

I'm not certain why this error occurs; it occurs with git 1.7, but not git

?The default push mode did change in git 2.0.0 (https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/2.0.0.txt#L7-L23). Before 2.0.0 it was "matching" but from 2.0.0 it's "simple". The error occurs when using a git version less than 1.7.11 (when "simple" where introduced, see https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.7.11.txt#L9-L14).?

To fix that a compatible mode must be used, like "current" (or "matching"). This can be set by running "git config push.default <mode>" or manually editing the repository git config file (please don't set this globally).

For more information of the available modes (and what they do), search for "push.default" in http://git-scm.com/docs/git-config.

try 3.1.99; i think the sendmail check in configure is fixed.

the thread became illegible, but there was a note about postfix that was
not correct.  postfix provides a binary named sendmail for compatibility
with sendmail.  if it doesnt exist, your installation is incomplete - not
that this is a postfix help list.

Agreed.  I'm on 3.1.99 and all works well.  The sendmail binary was installed with postfix, just had to edit rancid_control to send to my email as aliases aren't working.  I'll post back if I find a better fix.  Thanks!

i think this too could be handled in 3.1.99 (to be 3.2).  see MAILDOMAIN.
also see that it now supports a per-group rancid.conf; group/rancid.conf.

It does work for me; git 1.7.10.4.  make sure that you start with a clean
slate, including ~/.gitconfig.

Thanks Per Carlson.

Thanks Heasley.  I saw the MAILDOMAIN option last night.  The issue I had though is that RANCID composes the mail with the groupname in the To: line which is expected, but when the mail is sent to postfix, postfix doesn't change the username in the to: line before sending it.  Therefore the mail was sent to the correct domain, but to a non-existent user.  I made the tweak to rancid_control as a work-around until I'm able to get postfix to use the aliases.  I'll definitely check out the per-group rancid.conf as well though.  Thanks!

Hi
We've got some devices that rancid thinks have changed but have not, for example;

The line;

Is actually;
ip nat inside source static tcp 142.46.14.24 21 interface FastEthernet0/0 21

Which rancid says was remvoed (-ip nat inside source static tcp 142.46.14.24 21 interface FastEthernet0/0 21)

Any idea why it is parsing the text like this?

You seem to have a bunch of newlines removed. Considering how rancid
works, it's hard to imagine that the bug is happening inside rancid
itself, so maybe the device itself is doing it? But, the previous time
rancid ran, it parsed the input correctly. Interesting....


What kind of device is this, what rancid version are you using, and what
device type have you configured the firewall as?

Is this Aerohive module ready for prime time? I'd love to not have to start
from scratch! Does it do APs and switches? Can I take a look at it?

Thanks!

and is the login script able to disable the pager on this device?

can't you just install sth. more recent and move on?  1.7.1 doesnt even

the process seems layed-out here:
http://tecadmin.net/install-git-2-0-on-centos-rhel-fedora/

maybe one of these other rpm repos has a newer git?

or what command provides the branch name of the clone, which can then be
passed to push?

It appears, that i has matching, which doesn?t play ball, however, current works fine.

I?ll soldier on.

Many thanks

Subject: [rancid] Mikrotik + ssh with cert + rancid + as rancid user = can
 not login ?
Message-ID: <mduph1$3g8$1@ger.gmane.org>

Hi,
my first post here, hopefully I can still be helped ;)

I'm on Rancid 2.3.8-3 and ssh 6.0p1-4+deb7u1 from Debian repos.

As myself (user lukasz), from command line, i can do

[myrouter is not yet in router.db, imagine an IP given here]
[myuser is configured in .cloginrc see way below]

lukasz at george:~$ ~rancid/bin/mtlogin myrouter
myrouter
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l myuser+ct myrouter

[mikrotik router welcome and  prompt follow as normal]

and get into ssh prompt, no problem here.

(I've a certificate made by /me/ in .ssh and installed on the router,
and also router is in cached ssh fingerprints, so no problem here either)

Next then I copied & chown'd the .cloginrc and the certificate file
into relevant places in ~rancid, first doing ssh to myrouter to add it to fingerprint cache, 

then I'm trying to run mtlogin as rancid user and I get this:

lukasz at george:~$ sudo su - rancid
[sudo] password for lukasz: 
rancid at george:~$ cd
rancid at george:~$ pwd
/var/lib/rancid
rancid at george:~$ bin/mtlogin myrouter
myrouter
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l myuser+ct myrouter
myuser+ct at myrouter's password: 
Permission denied, please try again.
myuser+ct at myrouter's password: y
Permission denied, please try again.
myuser+ct at myrouter's password: 
Permission denied (password).

Error: Check your passwd for myrouter
rancid at george:~$ 

So it seems to be somehow /not/ noticing there is a certificate to be used...?

...but :

> rancid at george:~$ ls -l .ssh/
total 12
-rw------- 1 rancid rancid  668 Dec 27  2013 id_ssa_for_mt_backup

...and :

> rancid at george:~$ ssh -i .ssh/id_ssa_for_mt_backup myuser at myrouter

gives me ssh to Mikrotik myrouter as normal...

~rancid/.cloginrc has

add user * myuser
add password * totallyboguspassword
add method * ssh
add identity * /var/lib/rancid/.ssh/id_ssa_for_mt_backup // this line on 'lukasz' user is without path

Any pointer / keyword / wave of hand would be appreciated.

Kind Regards

el es

i copied it verbatim from my terminal...
(and just obscured the real myrouter and myuser)

that is full spawn line all that it prints to console,
as far as I can find...

(I tried bin/mtlogin -d myrouter > session 2>> session ,
and the session file contains exactly the same thing)

Sorry, it's been a long day ;)

Actually

- it's mtlogin that does not seem to pass -i to ssh at all

- this makes it not work when invoked mtlogin as user rancid

- when ran as user lukasz it's ssh that finds there is an identity key and 'just' uses it.

so the joke is on ssh probably ?

Joke's definitively on ssh, duh.

(as rancid user) so the line above seems to be what gets spawned?

And the mtlogin ran as 'lukasz' user, doesn't do /anything/ different here either...

so the joke is on ssh probably ?

Subject: [rancid] switch timeout, empty config in SVN
Message-ID: <9BDA0B754D62C64FBE6B0CFFA429C47A37B1A3DB3D@prometheus>

Hello,

some older switches, like Enterasys matrix N7 don't get processed by rancid reliably.
Sometimes it shows "Error: TIMEOUT reached" after some lines. Is there a variable
I can tweak for a polling rate or wait timer ? Those old switches have weak cpu power
and are easily stressed.

yes, though I had to manually backport it (my file isn't named mtlogin.in, as I'm on the deb package...)
(and it did not have -v option so I had to slap the -r* cmdline param recognition somewhere where I deemed fit)

but with this :

looking at alogin, there is already code there to send 'y'.  for the purposes
of automation, this is likely the right choice.  although, it looks like the
prompt has changed in your new version and the match needs to be updated as
follows:

Hello,

 The problem is that if you connect via TELNET and answered ?y? you obtain:

# /cfg/dump
Display private keys? [y/n]: y


Access Denied: This operation can only be performed over a secure
connection such as HTTPS or SSH.
Connect to the device using a secure protocol and retry.



 So my solution was this:

-re "Display private keys" {
        if { "$cmethod" == "ssh" } {
                send "y\r"
        } else {
                send "n\r"
        }
        exp_continue
                                                }


So it is checked the method of connection.

But if you connect via SSH and answered ?y? you need to answered another
question:

# /cfg/dump
Display private keys? [y/n]: y
Enter passphrase:



So my solution was to add:

-re "passphrase" {
        send ?PASSWORD\r"
        exp_continue
                                                }


Where ?PASSWORD? is a fix password that your certificates are cipher, so
any certificate to import needs that PASSWORD.



 I hope this helps, for me it is working several months ago with several
versions and models of Radware including new models 4408, 5208 and 5224.


 NOTE: I am still using Rancid 2.3.3 very modified to fit my needs, so
migrate to new 3.X (3.2 right now) seems very complicated.

Thanks for the reply here. My version of alogin does not contain any of the automation code for this prompt. 

expect {
            -re "^\[^\n\r]*$reprompt"           {}
            -re "^\[^\n\r ]*>>.*$reprompt"      { exp_continue }
            -re "\[\n\r]+"                      { exp_continue }
        }
    }

Perhaps that?s all that?s needed here is to get the latest version of the alogin script. Apologies but I am not sure I know how this is done and would appreciate someone pointing me in the right direction on how I can do that. Running this on FreeBSD 9.1-RELEASE and RANCID 2.3.8_2. Does updating RANCID not get the latest login scripts?

In the meantime I am going to try and just add the code for this and see how it goes. Will report back. Thanks again.

looking at alogin, there is already code there to send 'y'.  for the purposes of automation, this is likely the right choice.  although, it looks like the prompt has changed in your new version and the match needs to be updated as

Hi

This is a Cisco 1800 IOS router/firewall configured in router.db as a 'cisco'.  The version of RANCID is;

rancid at Netmon-Backup:~$ bin/rancid -V
rancid 3.1

I'm not sure what is meant by maybe the device is doing it...doing what?  The diff is done by rancid, the router just does outputs the response of 'show' commands, no?

Thanks

do you know what device type is generating the error?  i think its a bug in
the script calling ipsort().

OK I tried the additional code. It did not seem to work. Getting ?couldn't compile regular expression pattern: quantifier operand invalid? error testing. While looking through this however this it's becoming clear that I just have a way outdated version of the alogin code and this has been fixed long ago. I found an updated script on GitHub and added it to my system. It's working correctly now and I can once again keep config revisions for my Alteon gear. I should have looked for this prolly before posting here but I had assumed the updated scripts would be included in RANCID updates via the ports tree. Clearly this is wrong. Without researching I am sure this info is one of those 'read UPDATING' BSD things I skipped. Gets me every time. Stupid stupid. Sorry for the bother and thanks for the help.

Do you mean that the password is the passphrase for the Certificate?  Not
the password for the device.  Thats ugly.  I'm not sure how to handle that
generically.

Yes, I think he means the passphrase for the certificate, not the device. When you answer yes it then prompts for a passphrase for the certificate before it runs the dump. I answer 'n' so I get no passphrase prompt, but someone who wants to include the private keys of any installed certificates on the device in the config dump would need to provide the passphrase for them to see them. Agreed, ugly.

Subject: [rancid] Merging rancid-git with mainline rancid
Message-ID: <CADLW2vzmKnjBCudMYSeGUv41YkhsNmJoWOUMvnnVVZoX=pAshg@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

For a few years now, I've been running a separate patch tree for the git
work Jeff Ollie once did. I've accepted a few patches into it for different
functionality, but ultimately I've been trying to get people to submit
these patches to upstream (i.e. here). Very few (if any) actually did.

Now that we have git support in the mainline release, I'd like to try and
re-integrate those patches back upstream... Except there's a big problem:

rancid-git currently does one repo per install.

rancid currently does one repo per group.

Clearly, the rancid (upstream) way is a consistent, proper way to do it.
Therefore I'm planning on writing some kind of migration tool which will
re-write a history. Would that be interesting to people?

Also, John Heasley -- there's a few patches in my branch that might be
interesting to you (pfsense support, fixes for modern F5 etc), would you
prefer patch sets of "one per feature" to be submitted, or just one big
patch set? Feel free to reject anything you don't like.

Many thanks in advance,

Matthew Walster

i'm relieved that folks agree.  i was concerned that folks would be angry
about that, but after discussing it with a few, it seemed the best choice.

either way; though i prefer the latter, since it may be easier to debug
issues if they arise in other's environments.

Message-ID: <fcb570f85f804e3ab4b6ddd98f0d5e56@tsgexch01.borg.local>

Hi everyone,
I seem to be having some difficulty getting rancid to send emails on FBSD 10.1 using postfix or sendmail (built-in).  I have configured postfix to relay to another mail server in my setup but doesn't seem to do it when I have the rancid cronjob setup to run.  Although if I run the following command uname -a | mail -s "`uname -n`: Test mail config" user at tld.com<mailto:user at tld.com> it works just fine.  I can run this command as any user and it works, but the automated emails do not for the rancid user.  Has anyone else run into this?  If so how do you fix it?  I'm almost done with my rancid setup.

Here is my postfix config

As for rancid - here is what I have setup:


LIST_OF_GROUPS="NetworkDevices"
MAILDOMAIN="@borg.local"; export MAILDOMAIN

I have run rancid-cvs to set it all up.

Here is the crontab for rancid.  I have it setup to check and email me so often to do some testing.  I DO plan to change this once completed:

[rancid at monitoring1 ~]$ crontab -l
1,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/local/bin/rancid-run #hourly router dump
1,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55 * * * * /usr/bin/find /usr/local/var/rancid/logs -type -f -mtime +2 -exec rm -rf {} \;
[rancid at monitoring1 ~]$

Also,
Has anyone started using Rancid 3.0 yet?  If so how hard is it to setup?

this is a mail configuration problem rather than a rancid problem.  Looks
to me like there could be a problem with your mail aliases.

this looks like a mistake in your postfix config.

you need to run:

bear in mind that if you are polling devices with nvram, rancid will issue
a configuration write.  On some types of kit, this can cause the nvram to
wear out after a couple of years.

Message-ID: <001801d0656f$deff8f90$9cfeaeb0$@laposte.net>

Hi,

We use rancid for years now. We manage too much cisco devices, so rancid
runs daily during almost 15 hours. 

As, most part of the time, the configurations have not changed, I would like
to use the cisco archive command to ftp the configuration when it is saved
in the cisco device. So we could run rancid only once a week .

Is there a way to process the files sent by ftp as input to rancid to have
the formatting and the differences processed and stored as with native
rancid?

Thanks

Gilles

Ignoring the question below for now. 15hours seems outrageous, so tell us more about your environment please. How many devices, models, connectivity, rancid host, rancid.conf PAR count, etc. i collect about 450 devices each hour without issue.

We use rancid to backup daily around 3700 cisco devices (routers and switches + some WAP and FW) all around the world and let?s say that 10 percent randomly may not be reachable because they are switched off at night or due to any other connectivity issue. As we have the standard rancid configuration, I think that there are 3 retries, so it may take time.

I have no access right now to the rancid config, but several clogin run in //.

 

We have a lot of different models of cisco devices, connected through a stable and not overloaded mpls network or using ipsec tunnels. Some use satellite connectivity in the far east countries.

 

Rancid runs on a separate linux system, so it is not disturbing while rancid run is  below 24hours . But I was wondering if, as we don?t change the devices configuration very often, once a week would be enough if we use the ?archive ? cisco command to store the updated config. Today we run rancid on a daily basis not to miss any change in the devices configurations.

Hi,

We use rancid for years now. We manage too much cisco devices, so rancid runs daily during almost 15 hours. 

 

Ignoring the question below for now. 15hours seems outrageous, so tell us more about your environment please. How many devices, models, connectivity, rancid host, rancid.conf PAR count, etc. i collect about 450 devices each hour without issue. 





As, most part of the time, the configurations have not changed, I would like to use the cisco archive command to ftp the configuration when it is saved in the cisco device. So we could run rancid only once a week .

Is there a way to process the files sent by ftp as input to rancid to have the formatting and the differences processed and stored as with native rancid?

Thanks

Gilles

A few things I can suggest to improve the collection time:
- since you have a lot of devices (probably) with long RTTs
	- increase rancid.conf:PAR_COUNT.  Perhaps double the number of CPUs.
	  most processes will be waiting on the network.  if the host *only*
	  does rancid, increase it furture - perhaps 4 times.  you will have
	  to play with the value a bit to find your acceptable load vs time
	  comfort.
	- if you can separate topologically distanct devices from near by
	  group, you could use <group>/rancid.conf to tailor PAR_COUNT for the
	  workload w/ 3.2.
- if devices may be turned-off or may suffer outages often, these two could be
  separated into a separate group and use <group>/rancid.conf to lower the
  MAX_ROUNDS variable.
- you could also try lowering the timeout in cloginrc for devices that are
  often inaccessible.
- you may also consider switching to svn, which is faster than cvs.  or git,
  but please create a test instance for yourself before moving to git as the
  support is new.
- rancid.conf:NOPIPE=YES will improve performance of the perl part of a
  collection a little.
- also, see the FAQ for triggering rancid runs from syslog configuration
  change messages.  Use that for daily activity and run once a week to CYA.

I've not tried transfering the archives from devices.  there is no support
currently for reading the ftp file, but it is of course entirely possible
to add such a mechanism.  but, it would still need to connect to the device
to collect other info, or at least show version.

You could do a few things.   If you're running tacacs you could kickoff
an individual rancid-run on a single node after a login to that node. 
Or if you're using a syslog server you can watch for "Configured from "
in the logs and kick it off from that.

If you were to use the ftp config you would need to heavily modify the
rancid script.  It would need to detect that the file was newer than
what was saved in CVS, then grab the comments out of the existing CVS
file, combine that with the "sh run" from the ftp.   This would fake
things out and the comments would be wrong on some devices and that
would be .. not ideal.

Either that, or you could strip all the comments from both files and
diff them then only run rancid on files that are different.  That lets
you save lots of runtime and gives you the correct answers, so it would
be much better than the above, at the cost of a little more network traffic.

If you did these I would still advise you to do a full run once a week.

Thanks a lot for all these parameters to tune. I am thinking  at <group>/rancid.conf that I didn't know.
I also have just had a look at the FAQ and "sec" seems to be quite simple to use and efficient.
Very helpful.
Thanks

  This is because Perl 5.18 and newer changed their sort algorithm. You
should be able to fix it by adding:

# TMK - Deal with Perl 5.18's new random hashing (by nuking it)

PERL_HASH_SEED="0123456789ABCDEF"; export PERL_HASH_SEED

  near the top of your rancid.conf file. You can pick some random hex

I have some experience with setups like this:

More than 8000 CE devices (mostly Cisco) distributed throughout Africa
over whatever links happened to be available at the time. The list of
devices was constantly changing, they may or may not be up at any given
time, the username/password may or may not follow the standard, and the
device in question may or may not even exist at all in the real world.

With 2.3.8 on a single-CPU VM with 512MB RAM, I got this to run in about
4 hours:

- Crank PAR_COUNT way up. I had mine set to 50 IIRC.
- Split your devices up into groups of a few hundred each
- Set the telnet/ssh timeout as high as you need it to be to work
reliably 95% of the time

The rancid perl processes are all shared, and the code spends most of
it's time waiting on the network as characters come in one by one. The
actual amount of CPU work done per process is miniscule and disk
accesses are so infrequent you can almost ignore their effect, so don't
be scared to set PAR_COUNT very high.

top and load measurements tend to go very high with rancid, ignore those
numbers - it's a false positive because the machine is doing so much
waiting on the network.

I found, somewhat counter-intuitively, that with one large group of 8000
devices, cvs itself was adding a significant amount of time with each
commit. Maybe cvs was misconfigured on my end, but it got much better
when I created 26 groups (initial letter of the hostname) so I never
took the time to investigate cvs further.

I also had MAX_ROUNDS set to 0 so rancid never retried a given device.
My logic was that connectivity to the device was not my problem at all
so I didn't need to deal with it, and rancid would simply poll the
device again in 12 hours (mine ran twice a day). The OP might not have
the freedom to work under a policy like this though.

Hi Terry,

Thanks for the suggestion. Added the variables to rancid.conf and ran it
again.
It produced the same messages in the log file.

Funny thing. I tried to install rancid3.1, and it worked flawlessly with
the same version of Perl.
Then i tried to go back to 3.2 and the same thing again.

I will go through the compilation logs to see if there is something not
quite right here.

Cheers,
Simon.

On this point, I recommend original poster Google for "wrancid" and 
"wraprancid".  But neither developed for rancid 3.x so far.  They allow 
you to run ar arbitrary command to fetch a config by whatever means, which 
can then be processed.

I've already replied to you about this, but for other's edification; the
Socket.pm dependency did not appear until 3.2.  I do not understand the
problem that you had updating Socket.pm, but suspect that something was
not updated properly by Socket's install process or you have multiple
perl installations.  I tested updating Socket.pm and it worked.

I do not believe that the problem Humes is having is related to this.

I also believe that changes have made setting these variables unnecessary
by 3.2.  If I am wrong, please let me know and I'll add them for 3.3.

Message-ID: <20150325161446.GF45425@shrubbery.net>

Many have asked for this and it will probably be the primary addition to
rancid 3.3, but I do not have a use for it, so although I've digested most
of the maillist discussion on the topic ('out of band access script change',
'download configs from on router through another', etc), I'm not sure that
I'd include all the relevant features, therefore i want to solicit input.

I am tempted to limit the utility to executing other login scripts, ie:
the assumption that it through a device supported by one of rancid's login
scripts, rather than an arbitrary unix command.

Please feel free to reply to me directly or to the list.

My particular need is when I have multiple contexts on a Cisco ASA. While
I can easily setup rancid to get the config for each individual context,
there is a special 'system' area that cannot be accessed directly. It can
only be accessed by logging into one of the contexts, then changing to the
system area. (This system area handles the physical interfaces, and the
allocation of these interfaces to the individual contexts.) To get from
the context to the system area is a single command, 'changeto system'. I
don't need to enter any additional credentials. The prompt will also
change.

I am using the 'usercmd' patch to accomplish this now, in rancid 2.3.6.
Here is what my .cloginrc looks like:

# Backup system context
# 'asa1-system.its.uidaho.edu' is just a name for rancid. No DNS or
address is needed.
# The magic happens one line below: login to asa1-system.its.uidaho.edu
via {clogin} for {my-context-enabled-device}
# When logged in, change to system context and backup
add method asa1-system.its.uidaho.edu {usercmd}
add usercmd asa1-system.its.uidaho.edu {clogin}
{asa1-accessfw.its.uidaho.edu}
add usercmd_chat asa1-system.its.uidaho.edu {#} {changeto system\r} {#}
{terminal pager 0\r}



The router.db files looks like:

asa1-system.its.uidaho.edu:cisco:up:System Context, Added by me on
7-24-2014
asa1-accessfw.its.uidaho.edu:cisco:up:Added by me on 7-16-2014



Here is the output showing the prompts and responses.

[rancid at netman-collect rancid]$ ssh me at asa1-accessfw

Subject: [rancid] mtlogin error: Error TIMEOUT reached (2.3.8 deb)
Message-ID: <mf0po5$ju9$1@ger.gmane.org>

Hi,

How can I debug, what's given to expect as timeout during rancid-run ? 

(other than using & analyzing strace, possibly)

TL;DR:

still using the version from debian package on wheezy+backports,

lukasz at george:~$ sudo apt-cache show rancid
Package: rancid
Version: 2.3.8-3

rancid at george:~$ bin/mtrancid -V
rancid 2.3.8

On one router, while rancid-run, i get in the logs:

myrouter mtlogin error: Error: TIMEOUT reached
myrouter: missed cmd(s): system license print,system routerboard print,export,system package print detail without-paging
myrouter: End of run not found

and predictably no config is collected.

So I split the cmd(s) to separate mtlogin -c invocations, slapped them into a script and ran it under time,

revealing

time ./myscript > /dev/null

real	0m57.423s 
user	0m0.148s
sys	0m0.060s


Running each mtlogin -c command separately, reveals that in particular "export" command can take its time,
interrupting its output for up to 40-45 seconds at a time. 

I have increased timeo and timeout settings in mtrancid and mtlogin, to 120s each, but the
"TIMEOUT reached" in logs still appears.

Neither command, when ran separately, is hanging forever, i.e. each one completes and exits successfully.

I googled and found one occurrence on this m/l when someone asked, is the router having a lot or routes,
but that, as far as I could follow, wasn't answered; in my case, the answer is YES, and NO I can't put any less on it.

Hope this can still be helped ;)

Ok simple test.

How long does an /export take if you run it from ssh/winbox?

This is a common problem, and there's no easy way to solve it.
Basically, mtrancid is scanning the output from the device line by line,
expecting to find the router's cli prompt followed by a command run. It
then processes the entire output until it finds the next prompt.

This works well until mtrancid gets some input it's not expecting, or
the input stops for whatever reason. rancid itself is in no position to
figure out what the problem is, so the closest you get is the "End of
run not found" message. Which essentially means "something went wrong",
no more and no less.

mtrancid -d <device name or ip>

usually gives enough info to figure out what is really going wrong

rancid at george:~$ time ~/bin/mtlogin -c "export" myrouter > /dev/null

real	0m48.548s
user	0m0.060s
sys	0m0.024s

and in test with a stopwatch,

(doing ssh -i my_ident myuser at myrouter, then issuing export by hand)

give or take 36s lag has been encountered
after first 8s of running. Give or take because there were a few of them
and not exactly sure how to catch...

hope this helps,

mmm...
(please note I'm on debian and done sudo su - rancid to run this from command line: )

rancid at george:~$ PATH=$PATH:~/bin; mtrancid -d myrouter

// had to add ~/bin to path otherwise mtrancid would not find mtlogin; but this probably is by design.
// the below is mtrancid -d output:

this just exited, _no_error_.

Hi all,

I use clogin -c "conf t, blablabla;wr " to do a bulk update and clogin gets
stuck when it encounters the message :

Warning: Attempting to overwrite an NVRAM configuration previously written

by a different version of the system image.

 

 

Error: TIMEOUT reached

 

It is due to an ios upgrade done before without saving the config.

 

Is there any way to ignore this message, so clogin can save the
configuration instead of timeout?

 

Thanks

Gilles

i presume it requires a response; so use -s.  examples come with rancid.

Looking at run_commands,

it strikes me, that sending the command, it is allowed to timeout, just like that - 

but unfortunately :

- trying to catch the timeout at first and making it go exp_continue instead, doesn't work
- trying to insert another expect clause in front of the main one, just to catch the timeout, doesn't work

Looks like this calls for a 'for' loop and checking whether the cause of expect breakout was timeout...

Does that mean that the actualy run-time for the command was 8s when done
manually?  if so, please try mtlogin from rancid 3.2.

I do not understand.  If you think confident in the issue you are trying to
explain, please try to explain it in a different manner.

I do not have a mikrotik and the code was a contribution, but mtlogin looks
reasonable, though this match is odd:
            -re "^\[^\n\r ]*>>.*$reprompt"      { exp_continue }

Also note that the default timeout in mtlogin is 45 seconds.  it can be
adjusted in cloginrc or on the command-line.

I looked deeper into what "myrouter" was...

Seems the name was pointing into wrong IP address,
someone editing nslookup (or DNS, not sure now...)
entered wrong IP there :(

It works now, without mods (just with increased timeout to 60 to accomodate for the 'export' time)

Sorry for the noise.

Is this prompt format something that you have configured or a default?

This prompt is configurable via the 'prompt' command. Here is what ours is
set to:

prompt hostname context state priority


Here is the complete list of options for the 'prompt' command:

lib-asa1/act/pri(config)# prompt ?
  configure mode commands/options:
  cluster-unit	Display the cluster unit name in the session prompt
  context	Display the context in the session prompt (multimode only)
  domain	Display the domain in the session prompt

  priority	Display the priority in the session prompt
  state		Display the traffic passing state in the session prompt
lib-asa1/act/pri(config)# prompt

[replying to list]

if you're running an older perl version, e.g. 5.10, you need to explicitly
install a recent version of Socket because the version installed in the
perl core is outdated.

I don't know about Centos but on debian, you can do this using something like:

# apt-get install dh-make-perl
# dh-make-perl --build --core-ok --cpan ExtUtils::Constant
# dpkg -i ./libextutils-constant-perl*.deb
# dh-make-perl --build --core-ok --cpan Socket
# dpkg -i ./libsocket-perl*.deb

The intermediate installation of ExtUtils::Constant is only required to
enable CPAN to work properly.

I've been using Rancid 2.3.8 for some time now without any problems.  (once I got all the patches installed for it)

This past week, we upgraded a unit from 5.0.7 firmware to 5.0.9.  This had the negative effect of making it impossible for Rancid to log into the unit.  I have checked all the normal things.  I deleted and recreated the ssh Known_hosts entry.  I've even manually logged in from the Rancid server using my own credentials and the rancid credentials and not had any problems.

I checked the log and it states that it couldn't log in.  Any ideas what might be happening?   The prompts still look the same.  I'm currently stumped.

Latest log.

Did you log into the device from your Unix account on the rancid server,
or as the rancid user?

fnlogin run as the rancid user usually reveals why the remote login fails

Hi all,

after upgrading from 3.1 to 3.2, i got the following error when running 
rancid:

mgmt at master:/opt/rancid$ rancid core-dd-ou
"inet_pton" is not exported by the Socket module
Can't continue after import errors at

System is debian 6.0.10 with perl 5.10.1
Does anybody know how to fix this issue ?

Many thanks in advance.

Alex

Hi,

as a quick workaround, i removed perllocal.pod from .deb archive.

# dpkg-deb -x libsocket-perl_2.018-1_amd64.deb tmp/
# dpkg-deb --control libsocket-perl_2.018-1_amd64.deb tmp/DEBIAN
# rm -r tmp/usr/lib/perl
# rm libsocket-perl_2.018-1_amd64.deb                   # remove "old" .deb
# dpkg -b tmp libsocket-perl_2.018-1_amd64.deb   # build modified .deb
# dpkg -i libsocket-perl_2.018-1_amd64.deb
(Reading database ... 44338 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking libsocket-perl (from libsocket-perl_2.018-1_amd64.deb) ...
Setting up libsocket-perl (2.018-1) ...
Processing triggers for man-db ...

And afterwards, i updated /usr/lib/perl/5.10/perllocal.pod manually.
Hope this helps.

Regards,
Alex

@heasley: many thanks, this also works and seems to be the better way :-)
(banging my head against the wall, that i didn't read the manpage...)

One thing that bit me previously was:

config system global
         set strong-crypto enable
end

During one of those version jumps, the 'strong crypto' didn't play well
with my older fortigate scripts using 3DES for ssh.  Might be worth a look.

Thanks Nick, that?s what I needed. For what it?s worth the Centos 6.5
manual perl update from 5.10 went like this:

===
cd /usr/local/src
sudo wget 
http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SH/SHAY/perl-5.20.2.tar.gz
sudo tar -xvzf perl-5.20.2.tar.gz
cd perl-5.20.2
sudo ./Configure -des
sudo make
sudo make test
sudo make install

?
"Warning: perl appears in your path in the following locations beyond where
we just installed it:
    /usr/bin/perl
?

Perl -v gave me ?This is perl, v5.10.1? still so I did this:

sudo mv /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl.old
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl






Rancid-run then worked but cvsweb.cgi broke giving internal server errors
and code 500. I modified perl reference in first line of cvsweb.cgi to
?#!/usr/bin/perl.old -T"
?and all is fine again, as fine as it gets running centos anyway...






Cheers, Jos
