Subject: [rancid] Fetching the 'regular' configuration of extreme switches
Message-ID: <BANLkTikNAOfo0uSiy0N1O2njZFWiLt=u1g@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,

I just installed rancid and got it running correctly with Extreme and Cisco
switches. What I'm trying to do know is get it to fecth the 'simple'
configuration of my extreme switches (sh conf) instead of the detailed
configuration (sh conf detail).

I've tried editing the xrancid file by commenting/removing this line : *{'show
configuration detail'    => 'WriteTerm'},* in *@commandtable* but rancid
doesn't seem to work after that.

Any idea how I could do that easily ?
Thanks.

Cyril.

Hi Dale,

In /etc/rancid/rancid.conf, the path is there.
BASEDIR=/var/lib/rancid; export BASEDIR
PATH=/usr/lib/rancid/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
; export PATH

I have also add those line in rancid-fe :
    'ciscowlc'          => 'ciscowlc5',
    'cisco-wlc'         => 'ciscowlc5',

Message-ID: <BANLkTikV+=HLZJj-QnChT2HWctTTgm2acg@mail.gmail.com>

If you've got a banner long enough to cause the <-- More --> prompt on
an ASA then rancid is unable to grab the config.

fix is to deal with the <-- More --> prompt a bit after (my) line 455 in clogin:

    # Here we get a little tricky.  There are several possibilities:
    # the router can ask for a username and passwd and then
    # talk to the TACACS server to authenticate you, or if the
    # TACACS server is not working, then it will use the enable
    # passwd.  Or, the router might not have TACACS turned on,
    # then it will just send the passwd.
    # if telnet fails with connection refused, try ssh

    expect {
        -re "<-+ More -+>\[^\n\r]*"        {                    ;# -LR-

Hi all,

Is there a way to suppress certain lines of config from being matched in the diffs and from being notified.

We have a bunch of core devices with a certain firmware that keeps on giving he below :

<snip>
Warning: Overriding existing carrier delay value to 0
</snip>

Is there a way to suppress the above when the final "write" is executed by rancid

Thx

 ($autologin not defined)
Message-ID: <alpine.LRH.2.00.1106132211520.25224@floggle-toggle.damtp.cam.ac.uk>

I originally thought that this might be a config error on my part but 
currently for me with rancid 2.3.6 I can happily run:

   clogin -c 'some-command' router1

or

   clogin -c 'some-command' router2

but not:

   clogin -c 'some-command' router1 router2

(or router1 router1 for that matter)

When I try I get an error from the tcl about autoenable not being a 
variable.  Here is an example failure:

$ clogin -c 'who' bl23-12.private bl23-13.private
bl23-12.private

} {

$password_file...."
     ("foreach" body line 28)
     invoked from within
"foreach router [lrange $argv $i end] {
     set router [string tolower $router]
     # attempt at platform switching.
     set platform ""
     send_user ..."
     (file "/usr/bin/clogin" line 743)

it always fails on the second host, so it isn't just that the config for 
the second router is wrong.  Adding an explicit 'add autoenable ... {0}' 
does not seem to help...

On our HP procurve devices we do use autoenable (defined in the .cloginrc) 
and for those hlogin works as expected...  In fact apart from some errors 
from the 'no-page' command I can use hlogin -c '...' against multiple 
cisco devices without getting similar errors (at least for trivial 
commands).

Looking at the (unpatched I hope) clogin.in file from the 2.3.6 tar I see 
that at about line 770 is the offending code:

...
       if { $enable && $do_enapasswd && $autoenable == 0 && [llength $pswd] < 2 } {
 	send_user -- "\nError: no enable password for $router in $password_file.\n"
 	continue
       }
...

but I can't see anything which ever sets autoenable in this file...  What 
really puzzled me is that the error only happens on the second router...

A bit of debugging shows that on the first loop $enable is 0 so it never 
tests beyond it - even though it will be about to use enable, and when it 
finds a > prompt it sets enable to 1 so the next time round the test check 
$do_enapasswd (true) and $autoenable (no defined) and we get an error.

So a little further up (about line 742 - the top of the loop) we have:

...
set enable 0
foreach router [lrange $argv $i end] {
     set router [string tolower $router]
...

Changing that to:

...
foreach router [lrange $argv $i end] {
     set enable 0
     set router [string tolower $router]
...

so that enable is initially set to 0 for each router, appears to cure the 
problem for me, but it may have unexpected side effects and surely 
$autoenable isn't the right thing to be testing is it?

Maybe this test is left over from an earlier version of the code.  I note 
that in hlogin.in the loop over the routers is quite different and does 
set autologin for each device in the loop.

At the moment I can just use a shell script to loop over each device and 
so avoid listing multiple hosts on the clogin command, but I was very 
surprised by it not doing what I expected - since I'd used an almost 
identical command with hlogin a few days earlier.

All,

I have a rancid install that used node names for each node that needed to be
backed up. The problem is the node naming scheme is changing and I would
like to not lose the history of what was there before. Is there a simple way
to do this.

I am using CVS and ViewVC.

This is covered in the rancid faq at http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/FAQ

Look for "Q. I am renaming a device but would like to retain the history
in CVS.  How is this done?"

Hi Chris,

Got exactly the same issue when we deployed some new F5's running 10.x

What version of Big-IP are you running? Got these errors with BIG-IP 10.2.1 Build 297.0 Final but not in 9.x.

Removing the commands from f5rancid solved it, but I'd like to know why it fails.

shouldnt be anything; but perhaps the parsing routine for ssl.crt is eating
too much output.

i'd first verify that the login script is collecting everything.
export NOPIPE=YES;f5login -d ... and verify that the *.raw file has all
the output.

It would also be good to check on 10.x that the ssl stuff is still in the
same spot. If it isn't then let everyone know so people can look to make a
modification so it will work.

The ssl config hasn't moved it's still in /config/ssl/ssl.<crt/csr/crt/key>

BIG-IP 10.2.1

It would also be good to check on 10.x that the ssl stuff is still in the same spot. If it isn't then let everyone know so people can look to make a modification so it will work.

shouldnt be anything; but perhaps the parsing routine for ssl.crt is eating
too much output.

i'd first verify that the login script is collecting everything.
export NOPIPE=YES;f5login -d ... and verify that the *.raw file has all
the output.

Hi,

Kind of off topic but ...

Is there any way to make rancid work (getting configs from bigips
using "sudo") ?
That'd be great !

Why did you specify "hp" there, when it is apparently cisco-ish?

If clogin works, set router.db instead to read:

1.1.1.1:cisco:up

and see what happens then.

So is this something specific to my copy of rancid, or is this just a well 
known thing to be avoided?

I'd never tried it before, so I stayed quiet :)   But it's easy enough
to test, so
  clogin -c "sh ip eigrp int"  router1 router2 router3 ... router20
worked for me using rancid 2.3.6

Any suggestions for debugging the problem if
  export NOPIPE=YES
  f5rancid -d devName
always works?   And what's even more fun, the next regularly scheduled
crontab run to collect the config seems to work also.

What I've been seeing is that the F5 collection fails for some number of days on
  xxx: missed cmd(s): ls --full-time --color=never
/config/ssl/ssl.crt,ls --full-time --color=never /config/ssl/ssl.key
and then magically starts working again.  If the problem was with the
parsing routine for ssl.crt wouldn't it always work or fail?      ...
hrmm.. unless it's a timing issue?

The ios is like a cisco switch,here follow the config added for blade :

Inside .cloginrc :

add userprompt  1.1.1.1 {"Enter tacacs username:"} rancid
add password    1.1.1.1 rancidpassword enablepassword

add method      *       telnet  ssh


Inside router.db :

1.1.1.1:hp:up


I have tested with the clogin and I can connect it correctly :

./clogin 1.1.1.1


Unfortunately still no backup config inside the group , as opposed to the backup config of cisco product.

I don't know about this particular IBM model, but Blade Network 
Technologies make the switches that HP use in their blade enclosures, the 
GbE2 and so on.  These have a default "AOS" CLI, which is like the Alteon 
stuff in alogin/arancid (I don't otherwise know the connection between 
Blade and Alteon).  (John> A suggested additional command was sent to the 
list earlier this week for arancid which is probably worth including).

On the other hand, the GbE2 can also be switched into a cisco-a-like CLI 
mode, which is how I run mine, so I don't actually use alogin/arancid 
here.  I haven't got around to writing/modifying for a new module for the 
Blade cisco-a-like CLI.

Hope that helps,

Jethro.

I just before have change it to cisco ,but see empty the config in the the group.

rancid at ubuntu:  ls -altr | grep 1.1.1.1
-rw-r----- 1 rancid rancid      0 2011-06-23 12:01 1.1.1.1

There is something config to customize only for BLADE.

Why did you specify "hp" there, when it is apparently cisco-ish?

If clogin works, set router.db instead to read:

1.1.1.1:cisco:up

and see what happens then.

I have set up a new router for rancid to poll.  I can login to the router via ssh with the rancid user and enable password but, when it tries to poll or I use clogin from the command line it fails.  Any suggestions?

Thanks

We had the same issue so we took that check out. Not really a huge issue in
the scheme of things in our context as that directory doesn't change much if
ever for some of our F5s.

Hi,

I'm asking because I wanted to get bigips configs using rancid but not
giving him (rancid) privileges to do everything (root account).

There are some ways we can try:
- login and jump directly to bigpipe shell (we can not dowload certain
files then)
- login and jump directly to tmsh (the same as above)
- login and get root privileges but to limit what rancid script can do
(use sudo)

and what sudo is,   eg.:
http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl8_sudo.htm

Does it fail to connect, or just not send commands... You can also check your banner for special characters like #.

Subject: [rancid] rancid poll failing

I have set up a new router for rancid to poll.  I can login to the router via ssh with the rancid user and enable password but, when it tries to poll or I use clogin from the command line it fails.  Any suggestions?

Thanks

It appears to bomb out on the password.  Here is the output of running
rancid with the  debug flag.

spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l rancid c2960
Password: 
Password: 
Password: 
rancid at c2960's password:

it depends; sometimes its the device that is inconsistent about returning
it's output.  such as omitting the CR after the output so that the prompt
is at the beginning of the line.

perhaps this part of those parsing routines is causing the problem:

        # v9 software license does not have CR at EOF
        s/^#-+($prompt.*)/$1/;

I would check the .cloginrc file and see if user/pass is correct, or no hidden spaces/characters... It looks like it's attempting to use the password.

Subject: [rancid] e character in router config diffs of zebra devices
Message-ID: <1309097236.22639.11.camel@fr-wks3.corp.novso.com>

Hello,

I have a strange problem since the upgrade from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 (no
configuration change).

In the router config diffs of zebra devices, i have a 'e' character
added/removed randomly at the begin of a line.

This is not dependent of the device because i have this problem for all
zebra devices and the 'e' character is added/removed randomly.

Message-ID: <BANLkTi=HW+9FMwKa5FLEzXxD1=TmxaUySA@mail.gmail.com>

Has anyone looked at the pfSense add-on scripts in recent history?  I
don't believe these actually work (at least for pfSense 2.0).  Has
anyone used them against a 1.2.x machine?
the scripts exist here: ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/rancid/contrib/

It appears as if the expect is just a bit off, login works but not
completely and I suspect it's just a minor tweak.  I'm going to take a
look at making it work when I get a chance unless someone else is
working on it already or has it done (please?).  Is anyone else
looking at it?

In looking into this a bit, it appears that this is just a simple
prompt issue.  The prompt in 2.0 is much different.  To make this work
(and since I'm pretty awful at regex), I simply created a user on my
2.0 system (I just called it rancid) and changed the prompt in the
.tcshrc to match the old prompt.  The .tcshrc now reads

set prompt="# "
set autologout="0"
set autolist set color set colorcat
setenv CLICOLOR "true"
setenv LSCOLORS "exfxcxdxbxegedabagacad"

I can confirm that this works using the scripts from
ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/rancid/contrib/

Does version 10.x allow you to use sudo?

I didn't know that tmsh knew about sudo. I thought root was granted
automatically if you are given access to tmsh.

  env NOPIPE=YES PATH=${PATH}:/usr/local/libexec/rancid rancid -d 1.1.1.1

replacing the rancid directory in the path as required.

Then you should get two files, 1.1.1.1.new and 1.1.1.1.raw.  The .raw one 
will show how far rancid managed to get.

After seeing that the regularly scheduled rancid run failed to get
several F5 configs this morning I ran it manually:

export NOPIPE=YES
rancid-run F5

rancid collected all the configs & no errors in the log.  Crontab
kicked off the rancid run later in the day & several F5s showed up in
the log with the
missed cmd(s): ls --full-time --color=never /config/ssl/ssl.crt,ls
--full-time --color=never /config/ssl/ssl.key

again, run rancid manually with NOPIPE=YES and everything works.

Any thoughts on how to debug the problem would be appreciated since
the standard debugging suggestion is to set NOPIPE and use the -d
option.  I have yet to see rancid fail to get an F5 config if nopipe
is set

In that case, in rancid.conf you can set NOPIPE permanently:

# if NOPIPE is set, temp files will be used instead of a cmd pipe during
# collection from the router(s).
NOPIPE=YES; export NOPIPE

Does that help?

We've been seeing the same problem with 2 f5s running 10.2.1

others running 10.2.0 are fine.

Again, it also works fine when run manually, just not when running normally.

Tried setting NOPIPE=yes but the problem still persists.

Subject: [rancid] Problem with switch HP Procurve 2610
Message-ID: <BANLkTikK924hJJGK9tKqpbMeJrAdQMYtAQ@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

I just installing RANCID 2.3.6 and making backup for Juniper, Cisco
and Netscreen was working good. Unfortunately it won't work with
switch HP Procurve 2610.
I'm was trying like this :

$ clogin -c 'sh run' 10.10.10.2

and here's the result

SW1-RXM# couldn't compile regular expression pattern: parentheses () not balancd
    while executing
"expect -nobrace -re { [24;1H([^#>\r\n]+)?[#>](\([^)\r\n]+\))?} {} -re {[
]+} { exp_continue }"
    invoked from within
"expect {
            -re $reprompt       {}
            -re "\[\n\r]+"      { exp_continue }
        }"
    (procedure "run_commands" line 21)
    invoked from within
"run_commands $prompt $command"
    ("foreach" body line 166)
    invoked from within
"foreach router [lrange $argv $i end] {
    set router [string tolower $router]
    # attempt at platform switching.
    set platform ""
    send_user ..."
    (file "/usr/local/rancid/bin/clogin" line 743)

How do to fix this ?, thanks.

I just before have change it to cisco ,but see empty the config in the the group.

rancid at ubuntu:  ls -altr | grep 1.1.1.1
-rw-r----- 1 rancid rancid      0 2011-06-23 12:01 1.1.1.1

There is something config to customize only for BLADE.

Why did you specify "hp" there, when it is apparently cisco-ish?

If clogin works, set router.db instead to read:

1.1.1.1:cisco:up

and see what happens then.

Subject: [rancid] Restore Older Rancid Configurations to Newer Rancid Server
Message-ID: <COL110-W614CEAEF517751C3C7D3A790580@phx.gbl>


hi all.
 
My older rancid server got currupt due to hard disk failure. I had a backup of all the configuration inside /usr/local/rancid folder[etc, bin share, var]
It stored lot of configurations changes in routers using their coressponding revision numbers.
 
I freshly installed the rancid system on top of new server. Now I need to restore the older configurations to the new server. I copied the contents of this backup folder to my new server folder.[attached]
 
But Still the old data not showing. How can I sort out this problem.
 
your responses are very much.
 
Thanks

If anyone knows of a migration guide in general or tips/pointers for
performing a migration while retaining data, I would love to hear it.

Sure, it's easy enough to move the config to a new install, but I'm not
terribly familiar with the back end CVS bits interact with rancid and how
fork-lifting a CVS database over might affect things...
