Cisco 1900s, fru, AS5300s and AS5400s...


Hi

NOTE:
This is for -test- purpose only please don't patch your
live systems...

We have added the following to the version RANCID (2.3.1) we run.

 - fru / product code support
 - 1900 improved support, (I hope :) )
 - Cisco AS5300, AS5400 basic "Slot" support

FRU/product code.

The additional field within the "Slot" field has been added and called
"fru" for now, this is the product "fru" code. The ability for 
RANCID to pick this up is based on the IOS you run and the age 
of the PA/NM cards. As usual Cisco does not have a standard way of 
doing this, so there a bit of kludging to make it work. 

Here is the "fru" field as shown in the sample below.

!RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE: Cisco
!
!Chassis type: 7206VXR - a 7200 router
!CPU: NPE-G1, SB-1 CPU at 700Mhz, impl 1025, Rev 0.2, 512KB L2 Cache
!

could you try ftp://ftp.shrubbery.net/pub/rancid/clogin.in

I think all the 1900 issues were worked-out.

could you try collecting it manually like
	$ export NOPIPE=YES
	$ francid -d host

that will leave a host and host.raw file behind.  do it a few times and see
if you can get a pair of files where this duplication has happened.  with
those, we can narrow down the cause.

I did this and on the first attempt I can see a few lines that have been
duplicated in both files.
ie
host.new:snmp-server community ..... rw 5
host.new:snmp-server community ..... rw 5
host.new:snmp-server community ..... rw 5

host.raw:snmp-server community ..... rw 5
host.raw:snmp-server community ..... rw 5
host.raw:snmp-server community ..... rw 5

The config only has one rw community:-
tacacs-server key 1 <snip>
snmp-server community ..... ro 5
snmp-server community ..... rw 5
snmp-server contact <snip>

I can also replicate the problem with a straight telnet session (as in
no expect) ie
telnet host
en

good luck.  i tried for over 3 years to get them to fix bigiron cli bugs.
their response was that "customers had become accustomed to the behavior."
