I have some Dell Powerconnect Switches I would like to be able to poll with
rancid. The models are 3348s and 6024s. The 6024 also provide L3
functionality.
The CLI is IOSish. I can successfully login to them using clogin. Is
anyone using rancid to track changes on Powerconnect switches? I searched
the Mailing list, but did not see them mentioned.
2 problems I see off the bat are:
1) The pager can not be disabled (that I can tell)
2) There is not an "end" and the end of the output from "show run"
What is the best way to proceed in adding support for these switches? I am
not a programmer, but believe I could muck my way through coping rancid to
drancid and modifying it to work with the Powerconnects. Rancid already can
deal with the pager in PIXes. I am not sure how to handle not having "end"
at the end of "show run".
If anyone is interested, I could make one of the switches available on the
Internet.:)
