Hi All,

I have some questions with today's topic 1.System Up Time & Dell (JC) 

For Dell devices & F5,cloginrc is ok but failed to get the config.

Shall I edit the file rancid.types.conf?

And also,where can I find the website for all past topics,especially for Huawei switches?

Also Rancid log is missing in my system,(although previously existing),is it forwarded to somewhere else?

>> version:
 rancid-3.1-2.el6.x86_64
[rancid at network-backup BJ]$ cat /etc/redhat-release CentOS release 6.6  (Final)

The rancid-run script running as below,but all Rancid system viariables are blanks(previously ok):

> sh -x path-to/rancid-run
> + for GROUP in '$LIST_OF_GROUPS'
> + LOCKFILE=/tmp/.ES19F.run.lock
> ++ date +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S

I've gotten a little further in my hopes of getting these Dell powerconnect switches backed up w/o the up time creating diffs each run. 

I added the rancid.types.conf with what's below.  
test;login;dlogin  
test;module;drancid  
test;inloop;ios::inloop  
test;command;ShowVersion;show version 

When I run the command below it generates the following errors. 
[rancid at ALVMANL01 etc]$ /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid -d -t test ukbswid05  
loadtype: device type test  
loadtype: found device type test in /usr/local/rancid/etc/rancid.types.conf  
ukbswid05: missed cmd(s): show system,show vlan,show version,show running-config  
found_end = 0, clean_run = 0  
ukbswid05: End of run not found  
!  
write(spawn_id=1): broken pipe  
while executing  
"send_user "$router\n""  
("foreach" body line 3)  
invoked from within  
"foreach router [lrange $argv $i end] {  
set router [string tolower $router]  
send_user "$router\n"  

# device timeout  
set timeout [find t..."  
(file "/usr/local/rancid/bin/dlogin" line 509)  
ukbswid05: missed cmd(s): all commands  
ukbswid05: End of run not found 

Am I on the right path or even more screwed up than before? 

Thanks for the look.

I "resolved" my issue for now by installing a copy of openssh 4.9 in  
/opt and using sshcmd for the affected devices - a selection of ASRs and  
ISRs, but not all. I'd still be interested in what the real fix is  
though! Evidently those specific devices don't meet some minimum  
standard that the openssh folks enforce. 

Cheers, 

Howard

Just wanted to update the list before my mind melts from getting this 
working... 

If the password of your device in cloginrc contains curly braces, the curly 
brace password escaping mechanism will break causing clogin and or nlogin 
to fail with the aforementioned expect error.
