[rancid] Cisco Nexus support

[Bob Brunette]

I have to begin backing up Cisco Nexus 5000 converged switches in the near future, and I see that version 2.3.2a9 includes some Nexus support, especially in the nxrancid script. I don't see anything in there for the FCoE and SAN stuff though. Is anybody else working on that yet? If not, I'll start digging into it. Any suggestions or requests for what to collect are welcome.

Thanks,

afaik, they're all based on the same cli, so it should work though it may
not collect some info specific to those platforms.

Yeah, it's the FCoE and SAN stuff that I'm specifically interested in. I'll begin building it into the nxrancid script. I can test it on my N5000, but don't currently have a N7000 to test it on. Would anybody be willing to test my modified nxrancid script on a N7000 until I have one of my very own?

Thanks,
Bob
