[rancid] Re: [c-nsp] PIX/ASA Change Control

[Justin Shore]

I'm curious to see what others are using for a frontend to RANCID. Besides the emailing of the diff's that take place, what are others using to browse the repository?

I'm not a CVS buff so I'm sure someone that falls into that category
would have a better solution. I currently just use the standard cvsweb
CGI. It works well enough. I keep it in a password protected directory
on my servers. Not overly elegant but it works well enough.

Does anyone else have any other suggestions for a web GUI front-end to
CVS for RANCID use?

CVSWEB. Works great for even seeing old configs off devices that have been
removed.

Here's a nice all encompassing link.

Hi,

I use Trac http://trac.edgewall.org/ - it integrates with CVS,
Subversion (by default) or Git and also has an excellent diff view,
ticket tracking, timeline capability, searching, as well as built in
wiki.

Subversion is the simplest to set up as that is what Trac was originally
designed for. Since RANCID can use either it didn't matter in my case.

Best Regards,

Brett

Webmin, but that's probably overkill

FreeBSD-CVSweb can be a front-end for rancid since it uses CVS, you can
also use grep. If you are grepping it is probably a good idea to do so
as the user rancid runs as.

You can use the .deb's to install these for debian/ubuntu, or installing
from source works well and is straightforward.

We use subversion, and giving web access to the repository through the
normal subversion frontend, no special additions, works for us, but our
needs have been basically just to get a last known good configuration to
blow onto a customer's replacement unit prior to dispatching a
technician. Works pretty well, as you can just download the file from
the repository, put it on the unit with xmodem over the serial port as
the startup-config, reboot, and you've got an identical copy of what was
there.

We do this with Adtran Total Access 900 and Netvanta gear and our Cisco
CPE using the same config in Rancid (using "cisco" as the type works
just fine for Adtran AOS based gear) and it's a lifesaver.
