    I was going to point to the ancient one I wrote for Daemon News, but it?s long gone apparently. This one looks pretty good.

    https://uberbruco.wordpress.com/2009/07/09/rancid-on-freebsd/

    Once installed, the configuration is pretty much the same, except maybe the email configuration.

rancid also comes with README and UPGRADING files that installation-related
instruction that you might find useful.? These are installed in the
datarootdir, typically <prefix>/share, but both prefix and datarootdir can
be altered by the installer, so YMMV.

Hi,
replying to an old message, but just chipping in to see if you got any
further with FS switches and rancid? We just got in a bunch of FS
S3900-48T4S and are looking to add them to rancid.

In general, if it smells like an already supported device, that rancid
device type might work or at the least be a good starting point.  Try
it; if it does not work, lmk and I'll help.

Hello Bj?rn,

We looked at this for s short amount of time and got it put on the back burner as several other projects came up. I don?t recall exactly what I was able to figure out before that happened, but will see if I can take a look this week and see what I can dig up. 

Best,

-Troy

Thanks! :) I tested a few device types and it seems like I can use
dnos9. I added this to rancid.types.conf:
dnos9fs;script;rancid -t dnos9fs
dnos9fs;login;clogin
dnos9fs;module;dnos9
dnos9fs;inloop;dnos9::inloop
dnos9fs;command;dnos9::ShowVersion;show version
dnos9fs;command;dnos9::ShowBoot;show boot
dnos9bc;command;dnos9::DirSlotN;dir
dnos9fs;command;dnos9::ShowChassis;show system
dnos9fs;command;dnos9::ShowVLAN;show vlan all
dnos9fs;command;dnos9::WriteTerm;show running-config

Seems to give me what I need. The output is quite "airy"(as in lots of
empty lines ), but so is the output from show running-config on the
actual switch.

Does their O/S have a name?

This would trim all the blank lines in the config.  dell nos does not appear
to output blank lines.

It's not the same as the Dell NOS, but I recall hearing that it shares some lineage in the distant, dusty past.  (Well, as dusty as something that's only existed for <10yrs can be, anyway.)  So it makes sense it would be quite similar.  I've installed them for customers, but don't have any here to test with.

NOTE: different FS.com switch product lines use different OSes.  Not sure how different, but definitely not a unified software for all products.  (Again, this makes sense, it's all just vendor reference designs with the FS.com logo slapped onto it.)

Does their O/S have a name?

This would trim all the blank lines in the config.  dell nos does not appear
to output blank lines.

Thanks for pointing that out. Indeed a typo.

> Does their O/S have a name?

I am not sure to be honest, it seems to be called fsos in some cases,
but there might also be variations between the different switch models
as pointed out by Adam in this thread. We only have the S3900 series,
so I cannot verify it.

However, our Layer2 dude pointed out the os also was a bit cisco-ish,
so I tried the cisco device type (ios module) and that worked fine as
well . To make it more tailored to these switches I fiddled a bit with
stuff I'm not really able to do (I'm not a (perl) programmer...):
The ios module didn't have a ShowChassis routine, so I copied the ios
module to a new one and added the ShowChassis routine from the dnos9
module and added this to rancid.types.conf:

fscom;script;rancid -t fscom
fscom;login;clogin
fscom;module;fscom
fscom;inloop;fscom::inloop
fscom;command;fscom::ShowChassis;show system
fscom;command;fscom::ShowVersion;show version
fscom;command;fscom::ShowBoot;show boot
fscom;command;fscom::DirSlotN;dir
fscom;command;fscom::ShowDot1x;show dot1x
fscom;command;fscom::ShowVLAN;show vlan all
fscom;command;fscom::ShowDebug;show debug
fscom;command;fscom::WriteTerm;show running-config

So just another way to achieve more or less the same.

I would suggest providing a show version, listing from a boot sequence
or similar might be helpful.
Focus on the ones you want first and expand from there.

fwiw, it is possible include multiple modules with more recent rancid
versions, like:

foo;module;ios
foo;module;fscom
foo;command;fscom::ShowChassis;show system
foo;command;ios::ShowVersion;show version

and more recent still, a type name can aliased:

fscom;alias;dnos9

if any of that helps.

Ahh, brilliant. I had forgotten about the aliasing, and didn't know
about the multiple modules. Will look into that at some stage - our
rancid installation could do with some TLC anyway ;)

Thanks for kind help and pointers as always.
