[rancid] Dell D4012 Switches anyone?

Ah damn…
Thanks for pointing that out.
I don’t use them normally too, but this customer has them running and I’m trying to at least store the config in an automated way…

Output looks different now:

$ export NOPIPE=yes;rancid -d -t dellglump 10.100.55.251
loadtype: device type dellglump
loadtype: found device type dellglump in /etc/rancid/rancid.types.conf
executing dlogin -t 300 -c"show system;show running-config" 10.100.55.251
HIT COMMAND:d4012-01.domain...#show system
    In GetSystem: d4012-01.domain...#show system
HIT COMMAND:d4012-01.domain...#show running-config
    In GetConf: d4012-01.domain...#show running-config
10.100.55.251: End of run not found
eee enable

Does that help?

There is a typo in there between “dellgLump” and “dellgump”  ☺  May be my error in typing earlier.  I don’t use dell normally.

Thanks, Chris.

Doesn’t work though and maybe that’s also the reason why the collection doesn’t work:

$ export NOPIPE=YES;rancid -d -t dellgump 10.100.55.251
loadtype: device type dellgump
login script not defined for device type dellgump

Although this has been defined as far as I can see…

$ grep dellglump /etc/rancid/rancid.types.conf
dellglump;script;rancid -t dellglump
dellglump;login;dlogin
dellglump;module;dell
dellglump;inloop;dell::inloop
dellglump;command;dell::GetSystem;show system
dellglump;command;dell::GetConf;show running-config

I would set up the debug environment:

(on CentOS 7):

rancid at host ~# export NOPIPE=YES; /usr/local/rancid/bin/rancid -d -t dellglump switch.fqdn.example.com

Look for the switch.fqdn.example.com.raw file.  That will help.  There will also be a switch.fqdn.example.com.new file that will contain info.

Since you know the login works, above is where I would start.

Subject: [rancid] Dell D4012 Switches anyone?

Hey there,

has anyone ever succeeded in monitoring Dell D4012 switches?
They are a somewhat crippled version of the more feature-rich Dell PowerConnect Switches and do only offer limited capabilities on the GUI, but rancid is able do `dlogin´ into those switches and I’ve created a new device template in rancid.types.conf for them with commands that are definitely working after `dlogin` to the switches:

dellglump;script;rancid -t dellglump
dellglump;login;dlogin
dellglump;module;dell
dellglump;inloop;dell::inloop
dellglump;command;dell::GetSystem;show system
dellglump;command;dell::GetConf;show running-config

But still, rancid seems to time out when trying to fetch data from them.
This is what gets printed to the logs:

Trying to get all of the configs.

Any idea where to start my investigation?
