I made a slightly-tweaked version of the Force10 type for our Dell
S3048-ON switches.

In etc/rancid.types.conf:

dell10;script;dell10rancid
dell10;login;clogin

And then these are the differences from f10rancid:

A few commands don't exist - removed those. The switch likes to beep
(send ctrl-G) in responses, so I strip control chars out. It also
doesn't have 'end' at the end of the config, so the default 'saw all
commands' stuff didn't work.

Patch is for RANCID 3.7, but hopefully the gist is clear.

I haven't looked at Howard's, but will. However, I am assuming that this
is Dell NOS 10; maybe there is a difference from OS10 - i do not know, but
maybe someone will enlighten me. rancid 3.10 has a dnos10 type that is
new from another user; maybe the two should be merged.

Mine is very much a minimum-viable-changes job, so if NOS10==OS10, the
other version is likely better!

I am not the user for these switches, so I don't know much about them -
I was just asked to get them working with our existing RANCID. Ours
report version 10.4.1.1 (no prefix or suffix), for what it's worth.

It looks like Dell S3048-ON can use either the “old” Force10 FTOS(OS9) or Dell’s OS10 (aka (D)NOS10). As you are running the latter, the dnos10 type John mention should work. It is also based on a modified version of the f10rancid script. From a quick browse of the diff, I think they are pretty much doing the same thing. I’m using the dnos10 for our Dell S5296F-ON switches running OS10 (version 10.4.x)

FWIW, I expect that these modules will diverge as DNOS evolves, as it
seems to be Dell's goal.

OK, so my takeaway from this thread is that people are Working On It, and I’ll see support for these get rolled in sometime. I’ll make sure I have a copy of the config until the support is official.

Thanks!
