Todd,<div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div>
<div>The only issue is the patch is quite old so you might have to do some adjustments.</div><div><br></div><div>John,</div><div><br></div><div>Is there any chance the usercmd can be added to the distro?</div><div><br></div>

<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></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></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></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></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;color:navy">Can it be
done? </span></p>
