OpenGear has published rancid and login files that work with their console =
servers.
The page describing it is here:
https://opengear.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/216369543-RANCID-Support
The direct link to their code is:
https://opengear.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/article_attachments/209925523/opengea=
r-rancid-v2.1.zip
I just implemented their scripts, replacing very old custom hack-jobs I put=
together years ago, using some other existing login scripts as a base. The=
ir scripts handle the prompts better than my legacy code.
I have successfully tested their code on ~150 OpenGear console servers of v=
arious models (IM7200, IM4xxx, CMx) and on various software versions - 3.16=
through 4.5
There are some tweaks I made, like running their show version code first. A=
nd that line is not commented out in the resulting output file. But beyond =
that, it works fine.
Would it be possible for their code to be reviewed and merged with official=
rancid source for easier future use?
Thanks,
