Mailing List Archive: Extreme EXOS switches

I’m somewhat confused here; I have some Extreme X620 switches (that’s the Summit / EX-OS line) that I’m trying to add into RANCID.
However, my v3.9 installation, upon seeing “extreme” in router.db, still tries to run the “enable” command after logging in, which is wrong – VERY wrong, and tells me the wrong device type in is use.
Yet when I manually run “xlogin” to one of these devices, it still fails because it treats it like a Cisco-ish device, not like an EXOS device.

What device type am I supposed to put in router.db? Why doesn’t xlogin successfully log in??

I feel like I’m missing something here…

Pointers appreciated.

The Extreme is supported by clogin, but it has no concept of an
"enabled" privilege level. You must set autoenable for these devices
in your .cloginrc.
