<p class="MsoNormal">Hello list,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I finally got the Nortel switches in my environment backing up properly with RANCID. I made separate scripts for the baystack and ERS switches in our environment. As I was googling around I know that adding support for these switches has
been discussed in the past but I never saw an answer. Would the devs of RANCID be interested in adding support for these Nortel devices?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">In either case, I am having some difficulties processing the end of the baystack output. The config just simply ends. There is no ‘back’ or ‘end’ that I can key in on to tell RANCID that the config is done and it can logout. I have it working,
but it leaves this at the end of the captured config file:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN">I tried to get RANCID to watch for the $prompt variable, but it just sits there and eventually times out. The best I have been able to do is leave the logging in and out to my custom ‘nortellogin’ script, then everything
works, except it leave this in the config file.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
