How-to : Adding devices to RANCID
Some time ago I described How to : Install RANCID on openSUSE 11.4 “Celadon”. However, just after installation RANCID will do nothing without proper configuration.
So, in this lab I will show how to:
- create group of devices in rancid
- add information about credentals to RANCID
- add 2 Cisco routers to that group
- collect configuration from routers
- setup cron task to run rancid automatically
Systems which will be used to demonstrate how to add device to RANCID and collect configuration:
- lab-gw-01 – IP: 172.16.90.5 – openSUSE witn RANCID – installed on VMware Workstation
- lab-r1 – IP: 172.16.90.123 – Cisco router – started on GNS3
- lab-r2 – IP: 172.16.90.124 – Cisco router – started on GNS3
