</div>Take a look at <a href="http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/FAQ" target="_blank">http://www.shrubbery.net/rancid/FAQ</a><br>
3) General<br>
Q. I have a (set of) device(s) on which collection fails. How can I debug this?<br>
<br>
What I'm not seeing in the FAQ is a note that if you've been using<br>
rancid 2.x the router.db separator character changed from : to ;<br>
2.3.8 router.db:<br>
cisco-router.domain.com:cisco:up<br>
<br>
3.0 router.db:<br>
<a href="http://cisco-router.domain.com" target="_blank">cisco-router.domain.com</a>;cisco;up<br>
<br>
