<div dir="ltr">To do this you'd have to make significant changes in either clogin or rancid, which might be possible to get working, but much more difficult to make so that it works easily and productively, especially in a generic fashion. If you're going to attempt this, the two ways of going about it as far I as can guess in a few minutes are either change clogin to accept a second address as an argument (not forgetting the issue of usernames and passwords), or if you just want configs, change rancid itself so that there is a new type of router in there that parses additional commands that connect to the remote switches and get the configs that way. Either way, it is a significant change in the way that rancid and clogin would be working. Keep us updated if you add this functionality -- it seems some other people would like it as well. <br>

<p>Hello all,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I've tried researching this but, to be honest, haven't
been able to find any concrete steps that make sense to me—please bear
with me as I'm very new to the whole RANCID/CVS/ViewVC thing although I
have plenty Cisco and Linux experience.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have many clients with routers and switches on an internal
network that I can access either via VPN or by Cisco CLI by logging into their
public WAN-facing router and then drilling through the network that way. I
think I understand that I need to patch RANCID to allow this behavior. So, here
is my question:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>How do I get this patch and how do I apply the patch to
enable RANCID to hop from one router to another?</p>
<p><br>
Thank you so much for any help or points in the right direction!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Regards,</p>
<p>Graham </p>
