[rancid] HP Procurve 2810

[Gerhard Mourani]

Hello List,

 

I’ve problem making Rancid (version 2.3.6) work with HP Procurve 2810 switches. I’m able to connect to the switch correctly but the generated report is empty! If I check inside the log files, I can see the following:

 

10.1.6.254: found unexpected command - "show system"

10.1.6.254: missed cmd(s): show stack,write term

10.1.6.254: End of run not found

 

I use the following parameters in my .cloginrc file:

add autoenable  10.1.6.254          1

add user                10.1.6.254          myadmin

add password    10.1.6.254           mypassword      myenpassword

 

Regards,

[Brian Talley]

What does router.db look like?

Gerhard,
 
Also check if the Procurve can run "show system". Try doing clogin -c 'show system' IPADDRS.  
 
Regards

I get the following error:

    while executing

But if I run -> hlogin -c 'show system' 10.1.6.254

 

It returns:

Hi Gerhard,

That looks like clogin and the Procurves need to use hlogin (and
hrancid) instead. Copy and paste your router.db please, it may be something like

pc-2810-48g-01:cisco:up

when it ought to be:

pc2810-48g-01:hp:up

I don't know if it makes any difference, but i have lots of 2810s
working fine. The only difference i can spot between my .cloginrc and
yours is that i don't have an enable password specified. My
understanding (limited as it is) is that if you have created a manager
account on the ProCurve, there is no need for that extra password. If
you remove it, does it work? Also, do you have the required {} around
the password?
