Hello Randy , Is the system still contactable ? I suspect you've
already check that ? Does the present config show the same as the
last update ? If I were to recieve a config change like that
basically showing the the config had been erased ... Any code
updates ? , ??? Sorry for just the ?'s . JimL

Can you using snmpget acquire the config ? I am going to assume
that you will not get a valid config back from the request .

I don't recommend (yet) to upgrade the code base .
Uptime of the switch ?
Just off chance have you tried rebooting the unit ? If you have
not , I am getting a bad feeling that something in the unit may
be getting corrupted . Not a certainty just a bad feeling .
So rebooting could be a bad thing .

Can you check the or even do you have a CRC/MD5 of the codebase ?
One thing for certain 'something' has changed .

hmmm

% snmpget -v1 -Cf -c "<frob>" <nitz> system.sysDescr.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: HP J4813A ProCurve Switch 2524, revision F.02.02, ROM F.01.01 (/sw/code/build/info(f00))

do you happen to know how to do a get for the whole config?

> Uptime of the switch ?

% snmpget -v1 -Cf -c "<frob>" <nitz> system.sysUpTime.0
SNMPv2-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (356102402) 41 days, 5:10:24.02

too scared

are there any error msgs in ~randy/rancid/logs/psgnet.* wrt this switch?

rancid should not "delete" the saved config if it has trouble collecting
any of the data, but there is always the chance that we have missed some
corner case.

a quick check is, as the user who runs rancid,
% cd ~randy/rancid/bin
% hrancid -c "show version;show flash;show system-information;show module;show stack;write term" myswitch.bellhead.com

Checking in configs/switch0.psg.com;
/usr/home/randy/rancid/CVS/psgnet/configs/switch0.psg.com,v <-- switch0.psg.com
new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1
done

Checking in configs/switch0.psg.com;
/usr/home/randy/rancid/CVS/psgnet/configs/switch0.psg.com,v <-- switch0.psg.com
new revision: 1.3; previous revision: 1.2
done


that's it

Then rancid seems to think it got the config fine or we missed a
corner case. It would be interesting to see what rancid is doing as
Heas suggested:

% hrancid -c "show version;show flash;show system-information;show module;show stack;write term" myswitch.bellhead.com

interestingly, i could run the menu system and use it to reboot
the switch. switch acting 'normally' now. time to find out how
to get later code into the puppy.

we should count lines; eg: a zero-length 'show version' or 'show config'
should be a red flag.
