7+ years ago, I released a first cut of a RANCID module for pulling
configs from APC network management cards. As part of migrating my
monitoring systems from RANCID 2.3.1 (heavily modified) to 2.3.8, I've
completely re-done the APC modules. Some of the changes are:
o Based on 2.3.8 clogin / rancid code base - easier to see what I
changed if you want to audit the code
o Now reports the exact APC model number in the "Chassis Type" com-
ment line
o Supports 2nd-generation APC management cards such as the AP9630/
AP9631
o Supports a wider variety of FTP clients (different prompts)
o Better handling of configuration errors (such as specifying a non-
standard port number)
o Better handling of errors from the FTP client - errors are now de-
tected and reported rather than relying on the timeout mechanism
o RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE header changed to "apc" from "apc-netmgmt"
o Greatly expanded the amount of info in the 0-README file
You can download this version from:

If you want the 2005 version for some reason, it is available as:
