I agree, but with one reservation - RANCID's default archiving of the router config is oriented towards documenting changes, rather than providing a backup of the config. For example, passwords are by default stripped out (to avoid accidentally emailing them toyou with the change notices), and some subtle changes are applied to the config (some lines are sorted, some have sequence numbers stripped, etc.). Once you've installed RANCID, you can set up a second archive of the raw config files for "bare-metal" recovery. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
