[rancid] Cisco ASA+WLC script

[Michael Maymann]

Hi List,

I am trying to configure scheduled backups of my Cisco ASAs and WLCs.
I am currently trying to use clogin. Login is successful, but it never enters enable/configure mode - and therefore is not able to run the desired commands/retrieve all the necessary information (it tries to though !).
Can't paste my .clogin, as I'm at home currently. But everything (password/enable_password) is ok there ! (I am running this already on my HP Switches)

just after login and before it should enter enable/configure mode, it tries to execute the command (from within clogin - not something I told it to...):
"terminal length 0"
but the right command for this on a ASA/WLC's is:
"no pager" or "terminal pager 0"

1. Is there a better Xlogin that I should use ?
2. If clogin is the best script, where in the clogin can I fix this ?
3. Furthermore clogin doesn't logout of my WLC's when it finishes - I guess I could just add a "; exit" or "; logout" at the end of my command, but where can I fix this as-well ?


Thanks in advance :) !

Clogin is not for the wlc, that would be wlogin.  Out of sheer curiosity, now, why again are you trying to find a way to do what rancid already does for you?

Hi,

Daniel+DenyIPAnyAny: Thanks for your quick reply :) !

1. I'm running rancid 2.3.6... don't have any wlogin anywhere... can't see any in 2.3.8 either - how do I get wlogin ?
I'm doing this because I have some equipment that rancid doesn't support, that I also need backed-up (and don't know expect that well). So just created a little wrapper around Rancid to perfect things for me.

2. How do you backup your ASA's ?
nothing is wrong with my .clogin:
---
add method * ssh
#add method * telnet
add user * USR
add password * {PWD} {enable_PWD}
add autoenable * {1}
---
works fine, logging in and trying to run command(s) and exits - but doesn't enter enable mode and therefore can't run commands like "more system:running-config" that is working fine manually logging in to enable mode:
-bash-3.2$ /usr/libexec/rancid/clogin -f ~/.cloginrc_cisco -c "more system:running-config" HOST
HOST
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l admin HOST
USR@HOST's password:
Type help or '?' for a list of available commands.
HOST>
HOST> terminal length 0
           ^
ERROR: % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
HOST>  more system:running-config
          ^
ERROR: % Invalid input detected at '^' marker.
HOST>exit

Logoff

Connection to HOST closed.


Thanks in advance :-) !

I backup several Cisco ASAs without issue; with your symptoms, usually
the problem is with your .clogin file (specifically either the
autologin option)

Hi Michael,
 
You should set up autoenable to 0. As per Rancid .clogin help:
 
".B add autoenable <router name glob> {[01]}
When using locally defined usernames or AAA, it is possible to have a login which is automatically enabled.  This is, that user has enable privileges without the need to execute the enable command.  The router's prompt is different for enabled mode, ending with a # rather than a >.

Example: add autoenable * {1}

Default: 0

zero, meaning that the user is not automatically enabled and should execute the enable command to gain enable privileges, unless negated by the noenable directive or \-noenable command\-line option.
"
 
Regards.

Hi,

Marito: thanks, that did it for the ASA's :) !
now I have the following on my WLC's:
---
-bash-3.2$ /usr/libexec/rancid/clogin -f ~/.cloginrc_cisco -c "sh ver" HOST
HOST
spawn ssh -c 3des -x -l USR HOST


(Cisco Controller)
User: USR
Password:************
(Cisco Controller) >enable

Incorrect usage.  Use the '?' or <TAB> key to list commands.

(Cisco Controller) >
Error: Check your Enable passwd
---

These are the non-enable-commands that I can run on the WLC:
---
(Cisco Controller) >?

clear          Clear selected configuration elements.
config         Configure switch options and settings.
debug          Manages system debug options.
help           Help
license        Manage Software License
linktest       Perform a link test to a specified MAC address.
logout         Exit this session. Any unsaved changes are lost.
ping           Send ICMP echo packets to a specified IP address.
mping          Send Mobility echo packets to a specified mobility peer IP address.
eping          Send Ethernet-over-IP echo packets to a specified mobility peer IP address.
reset          Reset options.
save           Save switch configurations.
show           Display switch options and settings.
test           Test trigger commands
transfer       Transfer a file to or from the switch.

How can I get this to work as it seems that "enable" command is called "config" ?
Should I create a new .cloginrc_wlc for this and what would it look like ?

Thanks in advance :) !

Do a search in the archive and you'll find the wlc script.  What version are you running?

Hi,

Ryan: thanks for your reply.
I'm running...
Rancid: 2.3.6
WLC: 6.0.202.0

found a wlogin here:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/rancid/users/4674

but I can't get it to work:
-bash-3.2$ /usr/libexec/rancid/wlogin -f ~/.cloginrc_cisco -c "sh cpu" HOST
": no such file or directory
-bash-3.2$ /usr/libexec/rancid/wlogin -c "sh cpu" HOST
": no such file or directory

Is this the one you are talking about - or is there a newer one somewhere ?

Thanks in advance :-) !

Yes, that's it. I assume you set up rancid-fe and tried rancid-run -r devicename as well?

Hi,

Ryan: ok.
No, I didn't - do I have to :) ?. Shouldn't I just be able to:

/usr/libexec/rancid/wlogin -f ~/.cloginrc_cisco -c "sh cpu" HOST

?


Thanks in advance :-)!

[Ryan West]

Try wlogin5

Hi,

how do i try wlogin5 ?

[Ryan West]

Michael,

 

/usr/libexec/rancid/wlogin -f ~/.cloginrc_cisco -c ‘sh cpu’ HOST

 

This works for me.  I was referring to ciscowlc5, my fault there.

Hi,

ok - no worries...
Can you share your /usr/libexec/rancid/wlogin ?

Thanks in advance :) !
