NAME

       rancid - Cisco configuration filter

SYNOPSIS

       rancid [-dlV] (-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:

       -V     Prints package name and version strings.

       -d     Display debugging information.

       -l     Display somewhat less debugging information.

       -f     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

       Cisco IOS offers a DHCP server that maintains a text database which can be stored remotely or on local storage.	 If  stored  locally,  the
       file  changes  constantly  and  causes  constant  diffs	from  rancid.	If  this  file's  name	('ip  dhcp  database')	matches  the regex
       dhcp_[^[:space:].].txt, it will be filtered.

       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)

       rancid  works  on  Cisco  Catalyst  1900  series  switches  that are running Enterprise Edition software.  This software provides a menu at
       connection time that allows a command line interface to be used by entering 'K' at the prompt.
