[rancid] Cisco ISE/ADE-OS backups

[AJ Schroeder]

To close the loop on this issue the fix was to download and build the latest version of RANCID in a different location (test VM in my case) and then replace my custom 'iselogin' with the newly built 'clogin' script and things worked as expected. I had no idea that the clogin scripts would be backwards compatible.  Many thanks to Heasly for the expert insight and help even though we are running a very old version of rancid.

Yes - we are planning on upgrading to the new version in the near future.

Hello list,

I'll just get this out of the way, I have inherited a customized version of RANCID (v2.3.8) that we use to backup a bunch of different devices from all kinds of manufacturers. From what I can tell the customization that has been done was to redact a bunch of "unstable" things to stop versions from incrementing. A bunch of different devices have been added into our rancid repo and things are humming along. That's not really my question, just wanted to level set.

Has anyone successfully gotten Cisco ISE (a.k.a. ADE-OS) working with RANCID? Someone had written a "iselogin" script and "ciscoise" interpreter working but it was quite unstable and had tons of duplicate output. So I wrote a different "ciscoise" script to use "clogin" rather than having yet another login script. I can get certain parts of the output but the output of "show run" seems to be sent all at once in one big blob. I am not sure how I would go about pulling that apart, so I figured I'd ask if anyone has gotten Cisco ISE working with RANCID before I sink more time and effort into this.

Thanks in advance,

AJ Schroeder
