</div>I take it this is a menu system in a text console? Many 3Com switches have<br>
something similar to this. Regrettably, the 3Coms don't seem to have a way<br>
to dump the config to the command line. This is the key issue really.<br>
After that, you may need to massage the code a little to best deal with<br>
your device's syntax and output.<br>
<br>
The 3Coms have a way to upload the config to a remote TFTP server and I've<br>
been considering using that as a workaround, ie connect to switch,<br>
upload the config to a server, then connect to the server over tftp and<br>
download the config for rancid to work on. It's messy though.<br>
