NAME
       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 also a perl(1) script that operates much like rancid, but is
       generic and will eventually obsolete the rancid script.	 It  uses  the
       device_type   specified	 with  the  -t	option	to  look-up  a	device
       description 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:

       arancid	      Alteon WebOS switches

       arrancid	      Arista Networks devices

       rancid	      The generic rancid script; supporting Allied Telesis AW+
		      devices,	Arbor  Networks	 Appliances,  Cisco IOS, Cisco
		      IOS-XR, Cisco  WLC,  Dell	 switches,  Compass  EOS,  and
		      Juniper  JUNOS.	It  uses  the  device  O/S modules for
		      parsing routines.	 See rancid(3) for details.

       nrancid	      Netscreen firewalls

       nsrancid	      Netscaler

       nxrancid	      Cisco Nexus boxes

       prancid	      Procket Networks

       rivrancid      Riverstone

       rrancid	      Redback

       srancid	      SMC switch (some Dell OEMs)

       trancid	      Netopia sDSL/T1 routers

       tntrancid      Lucent TNT

       xirancid	      Xirrus arrays

       xrancid	      Extreme switches

       xrrancid	      Cisco IOS-XR boxes

       zrancid	      Zebra routing software

       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).

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.
