AOS7.rb: not matching configured prompt on OS6360 version 8.8

[joschi99]

using aos7.rb on a Alcatel OS6360 with firmware 8.8x. we have this issue:

W, [2024-12-19T06:38:23.767887 #1200893]  WARN -- : x.x.x.x raised Oxidized::PromptUndetect with msg "^M
S01-P1-RK13-SW01 >  not matching configured prompt (?-mix:^([\w.@-]+[#>]\s?)$)"

We have similar devices on firmware 6.x and using aos.rb they work without any problem.
Any idea?

Have a look at https://github.com/ytti/oxidized/blob/master/docs/Model-Notes/HPEAruba.md
You need aosw for Aruba OS 8.

Hi @robertcheramy,
there is a missunderstanding probably. As I mentioned the problem is related on Alcatel devices using firmware 8.8 and not HPE Aruba. Please reopen the ticket

[robertcheramy]

Sorry, this was my mistake. I thought Alcatel use Aruba OS but it seems only to concern WLAN-Devices.

aos7.rb does not have a specific prompt and is using the configured one. The default prompt does not match the space after SW01 in S01-P1-RK13-SW01 > .
Setting prompt: /^([\w.@- ]+[#>]\s?)$/ in the configuration may solve your problem.
Or remove the space in the hostname in the switch configuration (if possible) as it is unusual to have a space in the hostname.

Depending on your results, we could modify aos7.rb and add a specific prompt for Alcatel OS 7.

On a side note - do you know the difference between aos.rb and aos7.rb? And is aos7.rb compatible with Alcatel OS 8? I found very few information about AOS on the internet.

Hi @robertcheramy,
there is no space in the hostname as you can see:

but seem's that this OS version add a space automatically at the end of the prompt.

I will try to use your prompt and check if will work.

[joschi99]

I have tried to insert your prompt but the service will not start any more.

prompt

class AOS7 < Oxidized::Model
  using Refinements

  # Alcatel-Lucent Operating System Version 7 (Linux based)
  # used in OmniSwitch 6900/10k
  prompt /^([\w.@- ]+[#>]\s?)$/
  comment  '! '

  cmd :all do |cfg, cmdstring|
    new_cfg = comment "COMMAND: #{cmdstring}\n"
    new_cfg << cfg.cut_both
  end

the regexp seem's not valid

Please submit a YAML Simulation File for your device.

The needed command is ./device2yaml.rb user@devicename -c cmdsets/aos7 -o yaml/aos7_OS6360_8.8.56.R02.yaml

[robertcheramy]

Update to the different versions of Alcatel OS:

• AOS 6 runs under vxworks
• AOS 7 was the first version running on linux, and is probably compatible with AOS 8

[joschi99]

hi @robertcheramy,
I have the yaml simulation file created. If for you it's ok I will sent the yaml file directly to your email.

[robertcheramy]

Thank you for the file. I've fixed the prompt in Branch 3351-fix-aos7-prompt, please try it out.
