[rancid] Hostname in router.db

[Mathiruban Rajagopal]

Hi,

Can I user the router hostname instead of ip address in router.db.?


Thx

Mathy.

As long as the name can be resolved, by DNS or a local host file as an
example, then yes.

From 'man rancid-run':

"The set of rancid groups can ... be provided as command-line arguments"

So two crontab entries with different times, each specifying the relevant
group.

Hi,

I have few queries:

1)Can we backup running configurations of the devices only and comment out other commands.
2)Presently backups are happening ip-wise can we make it hostname-wise.
3)If individual devices needs to be backed up(Incase they were not reachable at time of backup) what would be the command.....?



Thanks & Regards

Jayant

[Remy Heiden]

Or as I accidentally only replied to to OP:

# rancid-run <groupename>

Or per device:

# rancidrun -r <device-ip/name>
