![]() ![]() Though great for collecting device configurations you can also use RANCID to get specific information from your devices by sending a command to several nodes, such as “show ip route” or “show crypto pki certificates”. Having all your configurations stored on the RANCID server also works as a backup. So if you hade been using RANCID for three years it could show you all the changes on all your network devices since that time. Aside from showing you what changed during last night RANCID shows you all the changes since it was introduced. If you had it installed RANCID could have told you exactly what configuration the technicians changed. The technicians who worked during the night are sleeping and they seemed to have forgotten to document what they did. End users have started to complain about systems which have stopped working. However picture this you’ve just arrived at the office after a maintenance window. In itself that’s just as boring as it sounds. ![]()
