Hello,<BR>
<BR>
I've recently enabled bug in all <B>bin/*rancid* ($debug = 1)</B> and looks like there is an issue with unaccessible devices. If a device is not currently available the rancid produces following output in the config file (that is a whole file for every "offline" router):<BR>
<BR>
!RANCID-CONTENT-TYPE: erx (or whatever vendor is)<BR>
!<BR>
!<BR>
!<BR>
!<BR>
<BR>
This is obviously a problem because it replaces the existing config with this output and once router is back online the actual config will replace this file.<BR>
<BR>
I need an advice on how this can be fixed and offline devices will be skipped the same way as when debug is disabled.<BR>
<BR>
thank you<BR>
<BR>
- Konstantin
