It depends on the OS you're running, on the 3750 you should definately be using cisco, for the 6509 it depends on if you are running IOS or CatOS... <br><br>Generally, unless you're running CatOS, which you can't do on most devices, you'll want cisco as the device type.

Dear rancidees,<br><br>I am unsure which "vendor" attribute to use for each of the cisco<br>devices I have. I think I have a choice of 'cisco' or 'cat5'.<br><br>I have<br><br>6509 switches<br>3750 switches<br>FSWMs
<br><br>Looking at the commands present in each of 'cisco' or 'cat5' It seems I<br>can benefit from using cisco on the 6509, to get "show vlan" etc.<br><br>Or am I safe to use "cisco" on all my cisco kit... even catalysts?
<br><br>I'm going to have to hack rancid anyway, because i'd rather not make my<br>rancid user enable_15, So I'm dropping 'show config' to a lower priv, to<br>workaround the "show run" issue. I'd rather not hack it into some
<br>hideous creature, as my perl is not great^H^H^H^H^Hin existence...<br><br>Also, has anybody come across a smart way of backing up FSWM config AND<br>FSWM context configs using something like rancid.<br><br>Cheers<br><br>
