[rancid] Dell D4012 Switches anyone?

[Gauthier, Chris]

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.

Cheers,

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?
