<p class=MsoNormal>Ryan is correct, the usercmd patch would get you where you
want. The patch was written by Ed Ravin. Here is a link to the patch and a nice
little thread about how to use the patch.<o:p></o:p></p>

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal>The only issue is the patch is quite old so you might have
to do some adjustments.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:navy'>I don’t know if this has been
addressed yet, but I have a need for Rancid to be able to access devices in an
MPLS environment. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:navy'>What we have is a network of
devices, some on MPLS that is reachable via a share, and some that are
completely autonomous from the rest of the network, they have their own
firewall in the colo and everything is reached through that, unless you have
access to a Core router, and can then reach them through their VRF. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:navy'>What I was thinking is if there is
a way for Rancid to log into a Core router, and then from there, ssh or telnet,
depending on the Core router, to the customers routers via the VRF commands.
These would need to be done one device at a time so it doesn’t overwhelm the
core router with connections. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:navy'>Basically, Rancid logs into say
10.255.255.254, then issues, telnet 10.255.254.2 /vrf testcase, logs into the
device, does its Rancid thing, logs out, then does it again for the next device
on the list. This would be something I would schedule to be done once a day,
starting at 11 PM.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;color:navy'>Can it be done? </span><o:p></o:p></p>
