[rancid] Trouble automating TFTP downloading using clogin

I'm trying to script clogin to login to some switches and pull an IOS 
image via tftp.

clogin -t 300 -c 'copy tftp://1.1.1.1/file.bin flash:' 2.2.2.2

I see the copy command appear to execute on the remote switch but the 
operation ever starts.  I verified with remote tftp server that not a 
single packet ever reaches it.  There is essentially zero output during 
the vty session after the copy starts.  I can successfully execute other 
commands, just not 'copy'.

What could be happening?

ML,

Looks like you're missing carriage returns.  Try creating a file with 3 carriage returns at the bottom, I
recently upgraded a series of switches using the same method.

Clogin -x <file-with-commands> <rtr-name>

I used Quotes " instead of ' and I saw the command execute, the issue I
see is that it doesn't prompt you to accept image destination name the
same way if you did it manually on the command line.

More tftp.sh
Clogin -c "copy tftp://10.10.15.11/c2800nm-adventerprisek9-mz.124-23.bin
flash:" SPAIN-C2811.PELCO.ORG

-bash-3.2$ ./tftp.sh 
SPAIN-c2811.pelco.org
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l user SPAIN-c2811.pelco.org
CCC

DO NOT LOGIN TO THIS DEVICE!

Password:

SPAIN-C2811#
SPAIN-C2811#terminal length 0
SPAIN-C2811#copy
tftp://10.200.2.11/c2800nm-adventerprisek9-mz.124-23.bin flash:

Error: TIMEOUT reached
-bash-3.2$

Your script may be stalling on a prompt. I use this script to turn off
file prompts before the copy:

clogin -c "conf t; file prompt quiet; exit; copy
scp://user:pass <at> server/$script running-config; conf t; no file prompt
quiet" $router

[rancid] Re: FreeBSD 7.2 & rancid/expect/tcl ports

Hello Mr. Zimmerman,

Just out of curiosity, what exactly happened when RANCID used to hang for you and did it just go away when you
upgraded or did you actually discover a bug and it got fixed?

I hope you and the rest of gnag are doing well.

Regards,
Joon Yun

Hi,

Sometimes I wish I was able to refer to a message that would get me out of a jam, so I thought I'd share the
results of an upgrade I've just finished to my RANCID servers:

FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE-p3

rancid-2.3.2               Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ
expect-nox11-5.44.1.11_1   A sophisticated scripter based on tcl/tk
tcl-8.4.19_3,1             Tool Command Language

All seems to be working well, no RANCID hangs since the upgrade on August 10th.

[rancid] Monitoring BGP in Rancid

Dear Team,

Is it possible to monitor the BGP status in links using Rancid looking glass? 
If BGP is down, can I get the email notification? 

Rgds,

R.Mathiruban

I don't see why you couldn't add a show ip bg sum to the commands 
run...but the problem I'd see with doing that in rancid is that if you're 
talking about BGP (full routes, peering) with external AS's, the 
number of prefixes received is likely to be in constant flux, causing a 
diff every time rancid runs.

attached is used for cisco.  you'll have to make your own adjustments to
rancid-fe and whatever else within the script.

[rancid] Greater than -sign in Juniper configs

Hi all,

 

Rancid has been missing some config changes in one of our Juniper (Netscreen) firewalls. While checking it out, I noticed that the configuration fetcher script seems to quit whenever it reaches a firewall policy with a > sign in the description field.

 

Removing the greater than –signs from the configuration seems to have fixed the issue.

 

Best regards,

Teemu Pulliainen

This shouldnt be.  Please ensure that you are running the most recent version
of rancid.  If it still occurs, please send the output of jrancid -dl rtrname
to me.
