[rancid] Extreme VSP (Avaya) and ERS (Bay Networks)

[David Jones]

Setting up a new instance of RANCiD for an Extreme environment of Avaya VSP4Ks and BayStack ERS (Edge Routing Switch) 49xx.

The "extreme" xlogin.appears to be targeted for EXOS devices so it doesn't behave any differently than clogin.

Starting with the VSP, I can get this command to work -- dumps the full config without paging:

     /usr/local/rancid/bin/clogin -u rancid -p ******** -c "enable; terminal more disable; show run" [ip address]

But when I just do "show run" I get this:

      [ip address]
     spawn ssh -x -l rancid [ip address]

I know I need to "enable" but the autoenable flag is not working.

I think I need to setup a new type in rancid.types.conf and override some default commands like "terminal length 0" but I can't figure out how.

Is there documentation that explains how to change/override commands for different devices?

Thank you.
