rancid - Cisco configuration filter

SYNOPSIS

rancid [-dlCV] [-t device_type] (-f filename | hostname)

rancid [-dhlCV] -t device_type (-f filename | hostname)

DESCRIPTION

rancid is a collection of perl(1) scripts 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.

rancid is a perl(1) script that operates much like the vendor-specific rancid script of
pre-3.0 releases, but is generic and will eventually obsolete the vendor-specific rancid
scripts. It uses the device_type specified with the -t option to look-up a device
description (see rancid.types.conf(5)) that defines what it does to collect and process
device information.

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

rancid The generic rancid script; supporting Allied Telesis AW+ devices, Arbor
Networks Appliances, Ciena Waverserver, Cisco IOS, Cisco IOS-XR, Cisco NX-

The command-line options are as follows:

-C Prints the login command that would be used to collect data from the device.

-V Prints package name and version strings.

-d Display debugging information.

-h Display a usage line and exit.

-l Display somewhat less debugging information.

-t Device type, of the given host or file, that is defined in rancid.types.base or
rancid.types.conf .

-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).
