Unable to take backup of extreme switch
Hi,

While I am trying to take backup of extreme switch then I am facing below error message in debug mode:


expect does "\r\n\r\rnEBER-SW-SIC4-VSP7400-ip-addess:1>" (spawn_id exp3) match glob pattern "[#\$] "? no
expect: timed out

Error: TIMEOUT reached

But we can login using rancid to the switch without any issue. So, would anyone please help me to resolve this issue?

Did you try executing the corresponding login script (clogin for cisco
devices, I don't know exactly for extreme)

Hi,
I think we are trying wrong login script (fnlogin) for extreme switch but (xlogin) doesn't work because it is for exos and the VSP 7400 switches whereas we're trying to back up of the following model switch:
VSP Operating System Software Build 8.8.3.0
Extreme Networks VOSS Command Line Interface

yes, xlogin for extreme; if the device is in a router.db, you can just
use plogin to select the right login script for you.

VSP7000 came originally from Nortel/Avaya. I've never used VSP7000, but I've used Passport 8600 series from which it derives. I dug into my archives and found pplogin and pprancid which I last used in 2012 or thereabouts. I'll try attaching them here. Perhaps they can provide some clues on how to get VSP7000 to work.

Re: Unable to take backup of extreme switch [ In reply to ]
I found a voss.pm somewhere about two years ago (but can't any more),
I've attached it, and here's what I have in my /etc/rancid/rancid.types.conf

voss;login;clogin
voss;module;voss
voss;inloop;voss::inloop
