Subject: [rancid]  spanning tree/portcost changes causing diffs
Message-ID: <919294.44486.qm@web50511.mail.re2.yahoo.com>

I have read several threads on the subject of portcost changes creating bogus diffs, but I haven't found one that presents a solution.  Is there one?

I am running RANCID 2.3.2a6


Thanks,
Laker

Of course if depends where you want the changes to be ignored. If you

Figured it out, I removed the "\n" line I added to "enable" and removed
the "." and the end of "Press any key to continue" on line 490 of clogin.

Laker,

This is directly related to ports changing state (aka someone turning

Subject: [rancid]  rancid-2.3.2a6, clogin and HP Switches
Message-ID: <add532410708021033o5df139dbp5d3c52a5be86addc@mail.gmail.com>

Just installed the alpha version of rancid and trying to connect to a HP
ProCurve 5406zl switch.  Using clogin, it works 50% of the time, the other
50% if hangs on  the " Press any key to continue" login page.

Has anyone seen this before?

Thanks.

fyi: I had to add a "\n" to line 544 on clogin to send the enable command,
otherwise just "nable" was sent.

I understand that, but I'd prefer not to have them appear as configuration changes if possible, i.e., have the script ignore changes to those lines.  It wouldn't affect restoring a config, because the switch would set the ports to their correct state anyway.

Laker,

This is directly related to ports changing state (aka someone turning
on/off their pc).

Message-ID: <20070803091553.8e114e4890519e5179c192e02d6bca26.daefe3e427.wbe@email.secureserver.net>

control_rancid and you are good to go.

Subject: [rancid] Re: spanning tree/portcost changes causing diffs
In-Reply-To: <20070803091553.8e114e4890519e5179c192e02d6bca26.daefe3e427.wbe@email.secureserver.net>

What I don't understand is why anyone would want "normal" network activity 1) filling up CVS and 2) causing nuisance
email notifications.  Anyone know why the feature was added in the first place?  Maybe it was intended as a poor-man's
network monitoring tool, but it's a real pain on a larger enterprise.  The sheer bulk of nuisance notifications by email
has caused my organization to ignore rancid notifications altogether.

Laker,

So in other words you don't want to see them even in the CVS repo correct? Filtering them out of the email is cake. 1
change to control_rancid and you are good to go.

Subject: [rancid] Re: spanning tree/portcost changes causing diffs
Message-ID: <20070804105649.8e114e4890519e5179c192e02d6bca26.3543b73b79.wbe@email.secureserver.net>

All,

To kill this one once and for all I will answer some questions.

1.) Yes CVS will fill up because the Catalyst OS based switches save
changes like these in the configuration. You don't see this in the IOS
versions because they don't save this i the configuration.
2.) I completely agree. Which is why I have written changes to
cat5rancid so it will no longer see these changes. I will share these
changes .... well the simple ugly fix for these. I can not say they will
work on all OSes but I know for sure it runs just fine on Redhat 9 (yes
old, but it was an old server I had) and Suse 9.3 (yes old once again,
but it is my tools server. :( ). I will post this complete change on
Monday/maybe this weekend if I get time as I need to still add the
configuration option to turn it on/off. That is extremely simple but
would like to test it first, before telling people to use it.


Hopefully my simple but ugly fix will work you Dave an many more that
tend to do just like most everyone ignore the changes due to the sheer
number of "set spantree port" messages. Well at least to me these are
the noisy ones.

Ah, but the problem isn't limited to CatOS.  Though the format and content is different, I see regular VLAN port state
changes acknowledged by all switches - IOS and CatOS.  CVS may not be affected for IOS, but the diff is run and reported
regardless.

Similar nag reports are noted for Flash changes.  They are usually 1 to 3 byte changes in the amount of memory reported
by IOS.  No significance found (and no understanding of why the sizes would fluctuate), but it is a diff and gets
reported nonetheless.

Looking forward to the changes.
Dave

All,

To kill this one once and for all I will answer some questions.

1.) Yes CVS will fill up because the Catalyst OS based switches save changes like these in the configuration. You don't
see this in the IOS versions because they don't save this i the configuration.
2.) I completely agree. Which is why I have written changes to cat5rancid so it will no longer see these changes. I will
share these changes .... well the simple ugly fix for these. I can not say they will work on all OSes but I know for
sure it runs just fine on Redhat 9 (yes old, but it was an old server I had) and Suse 9.3 (yes old once again, but it is
my tools server. :( ). I will post this complete change on Monday/maybe this weekend if I get time as I need to still
add the configuration option to turn it on/off. That is extremely simple but would like to test it first, before telling
people to use it.


Hopefully my simple but ugly fix will work you Dave an many more that tend to do just like most everyone ignore the
changes due to the sheer number of "set spantree port" messages. Well at least to me these are the noisy ones.

I just saw this thread and actually have something to contribute. I had
this same problem several months ago.  After digging through the
archives, I ended up adding some lines to just ignore "set spantree
portfast" and "set spantree portinstancecost" in cat5rancid.  We have
about 20 CatOS 4006's and have been running with these changes for about
4 months.  I added the below 2 statements to line 861 in
rancid/bin/cat5rancid (you could search for "Dog gone Cool" in the
file).  I basically found the section where they ignore certain commands
and just copied the ones already there.

        # Dog gone Cool matches to process the rest of the config
        /^set spantree portcost / && next;
        /^set spantree portinstancecost / && next;

        /^#time: /              && next; # kill time:
        /^tftp-server flash /   && next; # kill any tftp remains
        /^ntp clock-period /    && next; # kill ntp clock-period
        /^ length /             && next; # kill length on serial lines
        /^ width /              && next; # kill width on serial lines

Oh and the only times I see where the memory bytes change are when
switches either reboot or someone performs a write in IOS without making
any changes, doesn't happen that often.

Ah, but the problem isn't limited to CatOS.  Though the format and
content is different, I see regular VLAN port state
changes acknowledged by all switches - IOS and CatOS.  CVS may not be
affected for IOS, but the diff is run and reported
regardless.

Similar nag reports are noted for Flash changes.  They are usually 1 to
3 byte changes in the amount of memory reported
by IOS.  No significance found (and no understanding of why the sizes
would fluctuate), but it is a diff and gets
reported nonetheless.

Looking forward to the changes.
Dave

All,

To kill this one once and for all I will answer some questions.

1.) Yes CVS will fill up because the Catalyst OS based switches save
changes like these in the configuration. You don't
see this in the IOS versions because they don't save this i the
configuration.
2.) I completely agree. Which is why I have written changes to
cat5rancid so it will no longer see these changes. I will
share these changes .... well the simple ugly fix for these. I can not
say they will work on all OSes but I know for
sure it runs just fine on Redhat 9 (yes old, but it was an old server I
had) and Suse 9.3 (yes old once again, but it is
my tools server. :( ). I will post this complete change on Monday/maybe
this weekend if I get time as I need to still
add the configuration option to turn it on/off. That is extremely simple
but would like to test it first, before telling
people to use it.


Hopefully my simple but ugly fix will work you Dave an many more that
tend to do just like most everyone ignore the
changes due to the sheer number of "set spantree port" messages. Well at
least to me these are the noisy ones.

Message-ID: <20070805111726.8e114e4890519e5179c192e02d6bca26.05e5a8ac8f.wbe@email.secureserver.net>

Dave,

Robert has purposed a very simple fix just like mine. I have an option
to turn on/off the filtering of these config lines except I use the
syntax /^set spantree port.*/ because it will catch both of those
possible output lines and leaves the valid stuff.

In regard to the changes of spanning-tree stuff on IOS it will not show
up in your config thus never showing up in the CVS diff. The
differencing normally for something to show up IOS based is due to info
changes in the storage areas (flash/bootflash/etc). I personally have
ignored those commands as they serve no purpose for me. I would suggest
doing the same unless you have a very particular reason to capture the
images tha are stored on your devices.
