NAME

rancid - Cisco configuration filter

SYNOPSIS

rancid [-dl] ([-f filename] | hostname)

DESCRIPTION

rancid is a perl(1) script which uses the login scripts (see clogin(1)) to login to a device, execute commands to display the configuration, etc, then filters the output for formatting, security, and so on. rancid's product is a file with the name of it's last argument plus the suffix .new. For example, hostname.new.

There are complementary scripts for other platforms and/or manufacturers that are supported by rancid(1). Briefly, these are:

The command-line options are as follows:

rancid should interpret the next argument as a filename which contains the output it would normally collect from the device ( hostname) with clogin(1).

CAVEATS

For Catalyst switches running CatOS, type cat5, the prompt must end with '>'. clogin(1) looks for '>' to determine when a login is successful. For example:

 cat5k>
 cat5k> enable
 Password: 
 cat5k> (enable)
