Does RANCID handle Cisco PIX devices?
Hello all, I am still exploring RANCID's capabilities. Does it have
the ablility
to back up Cisco PIX configs? I have added the one of our PIX's names
to
the router.db file and set the type to

pixhq:cat5:up
pixhq2:cat5:up

thinking that it would be closer to
the catOS command line. This is not successful. I am using TACACS+ on
the PIX, and here is an example of what I get if I manually ssh into it.

$ ssh -l net\-cfg\-bak 10.1.1.1
net-cfg-bak at 10.1.1.1's password:
Type help or '?' for a list of available commands.
PIXHQ>
PIXHQ> en
Password: ********
PIXHQ#

in my dead.letter file this is the message I get for the 2 PIXes
configured

From: Network Config Backup <net-cfg-bak>
Message-Id: <200412282250.iBSMoOnX027862 at netdisco.capgemini.com>
To: rancid-fi
Subject: config fetcher problems - fi
Precedence: bulk

The following routers have not been successfully contacted for
more than 4 hours.
-rw-r----- 1 net-cfg-bak wheel 0 Dec 13 16:23 pixhq
-rw-r----- 1 net-cfg-bak wheel 0 Dec 13 16:23 pixhq2

If I use the clogin program, I can get the level 1 login prompt, but it
is not executing my show version.
This makes me think that it is waiting on some type of prompt character
that is not defined (just guessing).

$ /usr/local/libexec/rancid/clogin -c "show version" -f
/home/net-cfg-bak/.cloginrc 10.1.1.1
10.1.1.1
spawn telnet 10.1.1.1

net-cfg-bak at 10.1.1.1's password:
Type help or '?' for a list of available commands.
PIXHQ>
PIXHQ>
Error: TIMEOUT reached

my .cloginrc file is as follows

add method *
{telnet} {ssh}
add autoenable * {1}
add enauser *
{net\-cfg\-bak}
add user *
{net-cfg-bak}
add password *
{pass}

# set ssh encryption type, dflt: 3des
add cyphertype * {3des}



My goal is to back up my PIX configs, does anyone have any ideas? Can
RANCID do it?

i've used rancid with varios models of pix and they all work fine, with or
without tac+ for aaa.

I have tried setting these devices to cisco from cat5. There is no
change.
Rancid is not able to log into my PIXes. The PIX's don't have telnet
enabled,
but this shouldn't be a big deal for RANCID. Could the problem be in
how
I have setup the .cloginrc file?

my .cloginrc file is as follows

add method * {telnet} {ssh}
add autoenable * {1}
add enauser * {net\-cfg\-bak}
add user * {net-cfg-bak}
add password * {pass}

# set ssh encryption type, dflt: 3des
add cyphertype * {3des}

The other thought that I had is that something might be configured
differently (misconfigured?) on TACACAS.

My TACACS+ username is net-cfg-bak

aaa-server TACACS+ protocol tacacs+
aaa-server TACACS+ (outside) host 10.2.1.61 key timeout 15
aaa-server TACACS+ (outside) host 10.2.1.62 key timeout 15
aaa-server RADIUS protocol radius
aaa-server LOCAL protocol tacacs+
aaa-server local protocol tacacs+
aaa authentication ssh console TACACS+
aaa authentication telnet console TACACS+
aaa authentication enable console TACACS+

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Faron

Aaron,
If I remove the autoenable line, I can use clogin to log into the
PIX (see below).
However, my rancid-run process now takes forever to complete (it is
taking
hours instead of minutes; it used to run about 20 minutes....) This,
is probably due to my lack of understanding in how to setup the
.cloginrc file
.....anyway, when that rancid-run process finishes, I do not have any
updates
in the cvs database. (cvsweb.cgi lists the rev as 1.1) I have run the
rancid-run process 2-3 times since removing the autoenable and the
dead.letter
file now has many devices that it can't contact....more stuff to work
on.
Anyway, is there any reason why it would not update the pixhq device?
(it is
not listed in the dead.letter file....)?

Thanks,
Faron

Try it without the autoenable line...you still have to enter enable on
the PIX. (I'm running rancid w/PIXs right now, so it should work.)

Can you clogin to any of the PIXs directly? That's the common test I
use to see if rancid will be okay (and often tells me what error
actually occurs).

Does the account you're logging in as have the rights to run all the
commands rancid wants to do on the PIX? I supsect that the rancid run is
taking forever because it's trying to run a whole list of things, and one of
them (write term, perhaps?) is being refused....rancid then hangs, and the
connection only dies when it times out.

That is a good idea, I will check into it. I thought that the account
had level 15, but I will verify it.
