[rancid] Backing up HP router issue

[Jethro Binks]

This is a variant of a comware device.

Standard rancid has vrp.pm and xilogin which are probably the nearest fit, being of Huawei heritage, but I have never tried them.

I have my own cmw.pm/cmwlogin which are ... in a bit of a state ... and have never been tested on 1920G and similar.

You might try something along the lines of setting the user you are logging in as with:

 authorization-attribute level 3

and:

add autoenable ipaddress {1}

so you don't need the "super" command.

Jethro.

hp uses hlogin.  If you have the device in a group's router.db, you can
use plogin and it will exect the appropriate script.  Also see the FAQ
section 3 for a more detailed login test.  Lack of permissions might be
causing the failure.

but, hp mostly (entirely?) OEMs their NOS.  see comments in rancid.types.base
for hp models known to work with types hp or foundry.  type smc is another
option to try.
