SVN compile errors
by Andrew Hood 08 Feb '06

I have trouble building the versions of lib/parser-smi.c and lib/parser-sming.c in SVN. They would appear to have been generated by "GNU bison 1.35" and I have "GNU Bison 2.0" and it appears these generate incompatible files. I had to delete those and have make recreate them. I realise that they are there as a convenience to people who don't have bison, but there should be a way to remove them. Maybe in the maintainer-clean target? The same logic should apply to lib/scanner-smi.c and lib/scanner-sming.c -- There's no point in being grown up if you can't be childish sometimes. -- Dr. Who

Definition of <regexp>?
by Steen Suder, privat 03 Nov '05

Hello, I'm trying to disable port number 1 on a HP ProCurve 2524 switch with this command: # scli -v 2c -c 'set interface status 1 down' 192.168.1.244 control It works by opening ports 1, 10-19 and 21. It seems that I'm not able to control the <regexp> mentioned in the manual. Can someone give me a pointer as how to specify port number 1 and none other? My angle is Perl, but it seems that I'm not able to apply any of my knowledge as inferior it may be :-/ scli version is 0.2.12 on Debian Sarge (stable). -- Mvh. / Best regards, Steen Suder <http://www.suder.dk/> ICQ UIN 4133803 Key fingerprint = E412 52A3 3CE2 C19D 8749 85F7 5C43 A8A6 1137 C810

klik://scli
by Kurt Pfeifle 03 Nov '05

03 Nov '05

To all of you, who happen to miss scli RPMs on SUSE (I've asked several times for adding them in the past few years), or on equivalent native packages for other system: You can now also use klik://scli to use scli within seconds, on nearly every Linux system out there. [Of course, the klik client installation needs to have happened before on systems which do not yet have it: "wget klik.atekon.de/client/install -O -|sh" and follow instructions (maybe you need to set "export DIALOG=kdialog" first) -- a matter of a 20 kByte download and a 20 seconds effort....] If you happen to need scli on a system that doesn't sport a libxml2 installation, or if the standard klik package doesn't work, try klik://scli@scratch [and don't get scared by the .deb packages being downloaded into your RPM system -- they won't disturb or interfer with your system package manager at all. I swear.] For those of you who don't know about klik yet, here's the pitch: http://dot.kde.org/1126867980/ http://www.kdedevelopers.org/blog/418/ http://klik.atekon.de/ Cheers, Kurt

scli and scripting
by 5264277-ew5264277 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

Hi, I am interested in writing scripts using scli (as it's much easier to understand) and I was wondering how best use the tool. I know I can do this : echo "cmd" | scli <host> <community> Also is it possible to customize the columns output in the commands like "show interface info" to select fields from the detail view, such as the date of the last change. What would also be useful would be for scli to have an embedded scripting facility so that you couls poll and test properties and then execute a command. Comments wellcome, particulalry if I am barking up the wrong tree and there is a better way :) Regards, Andrew ============================================ Andrew Holt, Managing Director, 4A Solutions Office : +44(0)1257 268351 Mobile: +44(0)7841 340 608 email: andrew.holt(a)4asolutions.co.uk veritas vos liberabit -- The truth will set you free ============================================

Cisco switchs support
by Aldrin Martoq 08 Jun '04

08 Jun '04

Hi, First of all, thanks for such a great piece of software. It's really easy with smidump and the rest of the code. I'm developing a new mode for scli. It's temporary called "ciscobridge", it should support most IOS switchs from cisco and I would like this mode to be included in the scli source. The main difference with other switchs is that you must append the VLANID to the SNMP community for getting that VLAN information, like the forwarding table. For example, "scli host public@69". My needs are: 1) get the MAC addres ("show mac-address-table") and description ("configure terminal -> interface fast 0/20 -> description") by VLAN & IFACE 2) show if a port is in trunk mode 3) change an interface to a vlan, change description of an interface I've got 1) done, I would like someone try the beast and give some ideas of what could be done or what is needed. The source code is here, just for testing: http://sistemas.dfi.uchile.cl/~amartoq/tmp/scli/ Thanks, PS: Sample outputs here $ ./scli host (host) scli > show ciscobridge vlan VLAN NAME STATUS PORTS 1 default operat 69 TEST operat Fa0/3 Fa0/5 Fa0/6 Fa0/7 (host) scli > show ciscobridge macaddresstable PORT STATUS ADDRESS VLAN IFNAME DESCRIPTION 0 mgmt ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 1 13 learned 00:05:5d:94:c0:a9 1 Fa0/1 punto 5 oficina sistemas $ telnet host User Access Verification Password: host>enable Password: host#show vlan VLAN Name Status Ports ---- -------------------------------- --------- ------------------------------- 1 default active 69 TEST active Fa0/3, Fa0/5, Fa0/6, Fa0/7 host#show mac-address-table Dynamic Address Count: 2 Secure Address Count: 0 Static Address (User-defined) Count: 0 System Self Address Count: 49 Total MAC addresses: 51 Maximum MAC addresses: 2048 Non-static Address Table: Destination Address Address Type VLAN Destination Port ------------------- ------------ ---- -------------------- 0005.5d94.c0a9 Dynamic 1 FastEthernet0/1 -- Aldrin

Anonymous CVS Server not available
by Frank Strauss 04 Aug '03

04 Aug '03

Hi! Due to a breakin into our anonymous CVS server which usually makes read-only modules for the "scotty", "scli", and "libsmi" projects available, we had to stop this service for the time being. Since the attacker gained shell access and since we don't know enough details about the underlying vulnerability, we cannot estimate when this security problem will be fixed and the CVS repository will be online again. Until then, I've setup a nightly cron job that puts tarballs of freshly checked out CVS modules to the following places: ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/local/scotty/scotty-cvs-snapshot.tar.gz ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/local/scli/scli-cvs-snapshot.tar.gz ftp://ftp.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/local/libsmi/libsmi-cvs-snapshot.tar.gz -frank

scli installation
by Richard Bults 20 Jun '03

20 Jun '03

Hello, We have problems with the installation of scli version 0.2.12 which relate to the GLIB version and location of the glib.h file. The environment in which we want to install SCLI consists of a Sun Solaris 8 system and the GLIB files are located under "/Window/X11/contrib/include/glib-1" and "/Window/X11/contrib/include/glib-2.0" respectively. The "configure" script gives the following output: sh ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... ./install-sh -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for working aclocal-1.4... missing checking for working autoconf... found checking for working automake-1.4... missing checking for working autoheader... found checking for working makeinfo... found checking host system type... sparc-sun-solaris2.8 checking for a BSD compatible install... ./install-sh -c checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for ranlib... ranlib checking for smidump... no checking whether to enable -Wall... no checking for glib-config... /Window/X11/contrib/bin/glib-config checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0... no *** Could not run GLIB test program, checking why... *** The test program failed to compile or link.

Small glitch when building from CVS
by Wolfgang Fritz 20 May '03

20 May '03

Hello, I just checked out the scli package from CVS. Because I have the environment variable CVSREAD set (company policy) all source files are checked out read only. I use aclocal; autoconf; automake -a to rebuild the ./configure package and get the following error from automake: Can't call method "close" on an undefined value at /usr/bin/automake line 7751. This is because automake wants to create stamp-h.in which is read only because it is under CVS control. I think it is not necessary to have stamp-h.in CVS because it is a generated file and suggest to remove it from the repository. Best regards, W. Fritz

scli moving to glib-2.0 and modularization
by Juergen Schoenwaelder 31 Jan '03

31 Jan '03

I changed my scli sources yesterday to use the glib-2.0. Since glib-2.0 has some nice new features, it might be possible to simplify some of the internals by reusing more glib stuff. If someone sees a problem with moving to glib-2.0, please let me know. I also played some time with the idea to separate out the SNMP implementation. I did just that yesterday by creating a package tentatively called gsnmp. The idea here would be that others can reuse the glib-based SNMP library easily. Now, making this split would imply that scli has another dependency. If you think this is a problem, please let me know. There is another open question: Should the scli stubs also become a reusable separate package? It would make sense if there are people who are interested to develop other applications that make use of the stubs. One could package this as gsnmpietf (stubs for the IETF MIBs), gsnmpnortel, gsnmpcisco, ... Having stub packages would allow to write simple programs such as the one below without having to deal with all the nasty SNMP/MIB things. But perhaps I am starting to overdo modularization? Comments are welcome. /js #include <gsnmp.h> #include <ietf/snmpv2-mib.h> static void ping(GSnmpSession *s) { snmpv2_mib_system_t *system; snmpv2_mib_get_system(s, &system, SNMPV2_MIB_SYSDESCR); if (! s->error_status && system) { g_print("%.*s\n", system->_sysDescrLength, system->sysDescr); } if (system) snmpv2_mib_free_system(system); } int main(int argc, char **argv) { GSnmpSession *s; if (! g_snmp_init(FALSE)) { exit(1); } s = g_snmp_session_new(G_SNMP_TDOMAIN_UDP_IPV4, "localhost", 161); if (! s) { exit(1); } s->rcomm = "public"; s->version = G_SNMP_V1; ping(s); g_snmp_session_destroy(s); return 0; }
