Re: [Netdisco] Change VLAN

[DeShong, K. <kde...@he...>]

Maybe I have a newer build but my crontab already had those lines in it. Just had # in front of the command line. 
I removed the # and did the test you described and it told me which switches had config changes and then saved them.

Since only this file changed, you might be better off replacing your
"netdisco" file with the one right after I applied this patch (make a
backup of it first, of course):
http://netdisco.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/netdisco/netdisco/netdisco?revision=1.184

I'm not sure how much help you need, but I'll list the commands
anyway.  Something like this would be appropriate:
wget 'http://netdisco.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/netdisco/netdisco/netdisco?revision=1.184' -O /tmp/netdisco
cd /usr/local/netdisco
cp netdisco netdisco.backup
cp /tmp/netdisco .

If anything goes wrong, just "cp netdisco.backup netdisco".  When
grabbing files from between releases, there's a chance that there will
be some breakage introduced...


Once installed, you can test it using something like "./netdisco
-j <minutes>". If any jobs occurred in the last <minutes> minutes, it
will write the config on those devices.  Once everything looks okay,
you can add a cronjob like this one to netdisco's crontab:
# Save configs every hour on the hour
0 * * * *  /usr/local/netdisco/netdisco -b -j 61

Ta-da, your configs will now be saved when someone makes a change!
