Support for the Cisco SF300

Howdy,

Does RANCID supports the Cisco SF300 SMB switches? The regular 'cisco' and
the 'cisco-sb' (from
http://chrpinedo.blogspot.nl/2012/03/cisco-small-business-sg300-backup-with
.html) give me an empty file in the cvs, while direct logging in on the
switch and doing a sho ru (after enable) works just fine.

Any tips or help?

Have you checked the usual:

- password, username and method correct in ~/.cloginrc
- No ">" and "#" chars in banner
- prompt is sane (ends in # when enabled)
- does clogin <hostname> work and enable the user?
- what's in the logs?

- "rancid -d <hostname>" leaves a .new file in . that often contains clues

I have updated original Christian Pinedo's work for support Cisco Small
Business switch in Rancid:
- Rancid 2.3.8 support
- End of run fix (important for be sure to get the full configuration
dump)

Updated files can be found in attachment.

Support for the Cisco SF300 [In reply to]

Been trying to add support for the Cisco Small business switches in my Rancid 2.38.

I finally found the updated versions of csbrancid and csblogin files here but still seems to be some issue with my SG300
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/rancid/users/6910

Maybe i miss something with this line, as I don't know what he means:?
"- End of run fix (important for be sure to get the full configuration dump)"

My log just says:
Trying to get all of the configs.
sg300-10p csblogin error: Error: TIMEOUT reached
sg300-10p missed cmd(s): show version,show system,show startup-config
sg300-10p End of run not found

I can log in just fine using .clogin sg300-10p
Only odd thing is the 4 blank lines, but I don't know if they are important.
------------------
rancid [at] ubunt:~$ bin/clogin sg300-10p
sg300-10p
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l rancid sg300-10p
rancid [at] sg300-10's password:

SG300-10P#
SG300-10P#
------------------

My .cloginrc
# Switches
add userprompt sg*.* {"User Name:"}
add user sg*.* {rancid}
add password sg*.* {pass}
add autoenable sg*.* 1
add method sg*.* ssh

I've commenting lines out, removing {} and googled a lot, so feel I've tried evertyhing but to no avail.

Hope someone have some idea :)

Does csbrancid support -d like regular rancid does? If so

csbrancid -d >hostname>

let it complete and a full log is left in the current directory. It
usually has enough info for you to figure out why it failed.

You downloaded a csblogin/csbrancid (which RANCID is using), but you are
testing using clogin (the regular Cisco version). To see what's going
on, try using the same login program RANCID is! :-)

bin/csblogin sg300-10p

It might be a start, at least...

I werent even aware of this feature, but after testing it, I can say it does not.

Doing a -d using clogin I did get some more usefull info though, which corresponds wih my findings that it is an SSH issue between my rancid and the switch.

I weren't aware of the csblogin thingie as I'm total linux newbie, but the issue is the same nonetheless.

I'm rather confused as I can log into the device using telnet using either "clogin" or "csblogin" either way.

After I asked the first question I found that it is propably some SSH issue between rancid and my switch, as it works fine using just telnet.

Not entirely. The commands are % 90+ but not all IOS.

My SG200 don't have any cli access at all, which is even worse.

Cli reference /adm guide.
