RANCID, the Really Awesome New Cisco confIg Differ
|
|
|
|
Rancid maintains CVS controlled copies of router (device) configurations.
|
|
I uses expect to login to a list of devices and collect their software
|
|
configuration, hardware information, etc. The collected data is formatted,
|
|
trimmed, etc. Each is diff(1)'d against the previous and the output is
|
|
e-mailed to a mail list, then committed to the cvs repository.
|
|
|
|
It supports various Cisco routers & switches, Juniper Networks routers, and
|
|
several others.
|
|
|
|
Besides being useful for tracking configuration changes, Rancid comes with
|
|
several scripts that are generally useful for network management, including
|
|
the expect scripts that automate device logins.
